I have filmed my subject at 2000 fps on a JVC GY-HM750E, what settings do i need to use in FCP Studio 3 to get full advantage of this footage?

So far just the usual ball dropped in water as a test...

Hi David,
What I'm trying to achieve is super slow motion footage for a webfilm I'm doing... Showing lots of detail very slowly...
Any ideas how I can do this?

You are confusing shutter speed with frames per second, an all too common issue around here. Super slow motion requires fast shutter speeds to prevent motion blur on each exposure but it also requires more than 60 discrete images per second. In ye olden days of shooting film, slow motion was achieved by overcranking the camera. We'd shoot 7s frame per second, 3 times the normal rate of 24fps. This required 8 times as much f-stop because we were shooting at 1/3 the shutter speed, too, 1/120th second instead of 1/40th or so. When the film was projected at normal speed, 24fps, each second of real time was stretched to three seconds of film time.
You can use Motion's optical flow, which uses predictive pixel mapping, to help you stretch out some media but the results are not the same as using the correct acquisition techniques. You can also buy third party effects like Twixtor.
