Slow motion from 1080i60 to 23.98 PsF

I am currently editing a serie wich is shot in HDCAM 23.98 PsF. I have received tapes yesterday that were shot in 1080i60. The production shot in this format for slow motion purpose but im wondering what is the best way to achieve the best result.
I am editing on FCP studio 2.
Thx.

almost like Cinemascope, but even thinner.
2880x1080 = 2.66:1 aspect ratio.
"CinemaScope - With aspect ratios of 2.66:1, 2.55:1,and 2.35:1. The aspect ratio started out 2.66:1 but was reduced to 2.55:1 when the addition of sound tracks on the film. This was the most
commonly used method of filming movies because it's only major requirement is a special CinemaScope projector lens, which is available at virtually every movie theatre. CinemaScope was originally created by 20th Century Fox, but it is no longer in use. Panavision replaced CinemaScope in the early 70s. The Robe, and Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea were filmed in Cinemascope."

Best workflow for slow motion from Canon 7D?

Hey guys,
I am working with a slow motion clip for the first time and I am realizing that there isn't really an easy workflow with this. First of all, the clip was filmed with the Canon 7D, 60 fps. When I put in on the timeline, obviously I get rid of the audio. But then if I slow it down to 50% I get the typical frame blending crappy looking image that FCP gives me EVEN THOUGH the sequence settings are set to playing 30fps. In reality, I thought that when I import the clip in the timeline with those settings the clip would automatically be double-length... Stupid me. It's treating the clip like a normal regular clip and so when I slow it down it does the same thing it does with all clips - a terrible job at slow motion. So basically, at 50% it should be playing every frame and there should be no frame blending but apparently that's not the case.
So.. What's the best way to work with this? I tried putting the clip on a separate sequence and then slowing it down which did a much better job but then I had to export the clip out of FCP and bring it back in as a "new slow motion" clip if I wanted to preserve the effect. What happens if I have more than one clip? Is there a way to do "batch export" on all of them at once and not just one clip at a time? What's the fastest and best way to work with a 60fps clip in FCP and mix it in with the rest of my clips which are 30fps without it looking like crap?
I also just found out about Optical Flow in Motion and that's great but wow... the render time is many many hours for a 5 minute clip... that's crazy. I don't have that kind of time.
So... Please help! Thanks guys!

Step 1: Convert to ProRes. Log and Transfer, MPEG STREAMCLIP, Magic Bullet Grinder...whatever. Make it ProRes.
Step 2: Duplicate the clip if you want to also have it normal speed, because Step 3 is not undoable.
Step 3: Take into Cinema Tools and CONFORM to the frame rate you want. 29.97, 23.98...whatever the rest of the project is. This conform is permanent. It takes seconds, but is undoable. Thus what you did in Step 2.

SMOOTH SLOW MOTION FROM 60P USING CINEMA TOOLS

Smooth Slow Motion from 50 fps Clip in 50 fps Timeline

If I want 50% smooth slow motion from a 50 FPS video clip, I would normally ask PP to interpret that clip as 25 FPS - that works great.
If however I import the 50 FPS video clip and interprett it as 50 FPS, I would have to set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% to get the same level of slow motion.
The question is - when I follow the latter method, does PP create new frames for the slow motion or is it clever enough to use all the frames from the original 50 FPS video clip? to put it another away, does PP always generate NEW frames for slow motion or does it try to use the frames we are attempting to ignore?
I've done some basic tests and so far I can't see any real difference between the two methods. This leads me to beleive PP is effectively using all of the original 50 frames when the 50 fps video clip is imported into a 50 fps timeline and then slowed down in the timeline by 50%. - if this is the case, well done PP!!! If this is not the case, then it would be a welcomed enhancement in future releases.
I guess what you are all wondering is why would I want to import a 50 fps video clip into a 50 fps timeline and then slow it down in the timeline - well, as a wedding Videographer, it is simply because some parts of the video need to be in slow motion and other parts like messages and speeches need to be interpreted at normal speed. If playback in the timeline is at normal speed, i find it simpler to slow down the "Walking Down the Isle" clips rather than having to speed up the speeaches and messages.
In short, when importing 50 fps video for smooth slow motion, are both the following methods equally effective in terms of smooth motion?
Method 1: Import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline
Method 2: import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline and set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% - I'm assuming PP does not generate new frames and gets them from the original 50 fps file instead..
To put it another way, does PP ALWAYS attempt to generate new fromes when slowing down video in the timeline? When extra frames are available in the original video file, does PP try to get the extra frames from that file instead of generating new ones?

I recorded 2 video clips of the same scene. The camera was panning from right to left.
First video clip - recorded at 25 fps
second video clip - recorded at 50 fps
Both video clips recorded at the same panning speed of the same scene.
1. If I import the 25 fps video into 25 fps timeline and slow it down by 50%, the exported video looks jerky.
2. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline, the exported video looks smooth motion.
3. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline, slow it down in the timeline by 50%, and export the video as 25 fps then the result is still smooth motion.
I've only done the experiment once and may have to repeat to be absolutely sure.

Export slow motion from my 5s.

Hi there. I would know how to export slow-motion videos from my phone 5s to my computer without losing any quality.

I wouldn't change applications against a deadline.
Slow motion is not an easy effect to do in post unless you shot more frames per second than you needed for standard speed. Making 30 frames a second into 60 frames requires each frame to be printed twice. What were your expectations or what have your tried before?
Especially with HDV, which starts out so heavily compressed, by the time it gets slomo'd and transcoded back to MPEG2 again, yeah, I imagine it's gonna look pretty bad. You can obtain some expensive software to do the optical flow pixel interpretation without buying FCS2 but that's up to your client's needs for smooth slow motion. Rendering optical flow, we've heard, takes for freakin' ever, even on the best machines.
Some HDV users will chime in over the next few hours or days with more helpful advice.

Slow-motion from iPhone not importing at correct frame rate

Hi everyone. I'm noticing that video shot in slow mo (120 fps) on my iPhone 5 is not importing into FCPX.1 at 120 fps. Nor does FCP give me an option to keep the 120 fps. I'm sure I'm just overlooking something. Tried making a preset but that didn't work either. Net result is I'm just hitting the timeline with a duration change.
What does anyone else recommend. I'm hoping to get that delicious 6Plus with 240 fps so I want to make sure I've got my workflow set.
Thanks so much!
Viddy

Here we go--just happened again. Screen shots here. The video plays what looks like 29.97 fps despite having more data available. Obviously no setting to put that timeline at 120 fps but I thought at least 60 fps would stick. ...... hmmmmm.

HT4437 slow motion video to TV

I have problems transmiting a video with slowe motion from my iphone 5s to my TV through apple tv. I just hear the sound. Do not see image. Any idea???

Hi. After after trying too upload from the Facebook app, I found out that the video isn´t saved as a finished video. (you can still edit it)
I used the iMovie app to save the movie as new finished movie. Open iMovie , those video, select your video, click the share button i down right corner. Push create movie (I guess, mine is in danish) play the movie or not, push the back button, change the name or not, push the share button, save the the movie. Now you have a finished movie, that can be shared as any normal movie.
Hope this helps
Maybe there are other ways I don't know

Slow-Motion/Fast-Motion.

Just wondering if there is a way to gradually slow down a clip from keyframe to keyframe, as in add a gradual slow motion from one point to another not just an immediate slow down and that being the same speed between the two points.
Also is there a way to do this for fast-motion as opposed to slow-motion?

If you are referring to the Time Remap filter (...thanks Ian...) you can see the result only in the canvas: make sure you +always render+ the clip after applying or changing parameters, in order to see the final quality (without rendering, you can get very unusual results... even with RT Unlimited).

How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously. I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long. I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore

H.264 export from AVCHD source results in slow-motion video; any ideas?

Hello, I'm trying to export a 1080i project with AVCHD footage using the H.264 Bluray profile. The resulting video looks good, but runs in slow motion. The starting footage is AVCHD 1440x1080 (1.333). When I export using the MPEG2 Bluray profile, everything runs fine. Thank you for any suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. My source footage consists of MTS files from an AVCHD camcorder. The files are 1080i anamorphic, so 1440x1080, with an aspect ration of 1.333 and a framerate of 29.97fps. I used one of the AVCHD sequence templates in Premiere CS5 that matched the video files.
I'm exorting using the H.264 Bluray preset for 1080i. I tried several of the profiles (1080p, etc), but they all end with the same bad result. The video plays, but seems to be playing at half speed. My 15-minute clip takes 30 minutes to play, even though the timline in VLC or WMP reports at 15 minutes. The audio sounds fine, but stops after 15 minutes (as it should). It's obviously out of sync, since the video is playing at half speed.
I have read a few other articles indicating it might be an issue with the way Premiere is interpreting the interlaced footage from the MTS files? This is beyond my area of knowledge.
When I encode using the MPEG-2 Bluray profile, it works fine. The video playback speed is normal.
My end goal is to edit my MTS files from the camcorder, encode using the H.264 profile, and place in an MKV container for playback on my XBMC-based HTPC. I'm also considering exporting as a high-bitrate MPEG-2, then using another encoder (HandBrake, etc.) to create the x264 MKV. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Slow motion problem publishing from imovie to idvd

The problem is with publishing a film to idvd from imovie. The slow motion clips "glitch up" when viewed on idvd but run smoothly when viewed on imovie. The visual of the slow motion clip pauses as the audio continues. The movie picks up as normal after the slow motion scene ends. There is another point in the movie where a non-slow motion scene does the same thing (visual pauses and audio continues) until the end of the entire movie. The glitch stops before the credits (which is not filmed fottage). How do I fix this?

hmmmm..I would double check the other clips. Other than that I am stumped. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.
Also, once you changed to 25%, you need to re-SHARE the video. (If you haven't already)

You have to email it to yourself to preserve the slow-motion effect.

Importing slow motion sequenze (848 x 480) from GoPro Hero 3 black edition in FC

How can I import a slow motion sequenz from my Hero GoPro black edition into Final Cut? The original has a resolution of 848 x 480. After the import Final Cut makes this sequenze a little bit larger (640 x 480), resulting that part of sharpness is lost.

When dropping the clip into the timeline for the first time, try setting the Video Properties Format to NTSC SD and Resolution to 720x480 DV Anamorphic. Clips of your resolution should fit and leave a bit of pillarboxing on the sides. To ensure you're playing it back at the best image quality, go to Playback Preferences, and set Playback Quality to High Quality.

Playing slow motion movies from Z2 on pc

Hi Guys
what about playing slow motion movies from Z2 on pc?
I tried and I could not??
Have you got any ideas (win7 x32)?
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I installed CCCP codeks and I'm able to play on Windows media player without the problems.
On VLC media I could play however - not with good quality, the picture did not changed fluently, so I uninstalled.
Thanks for help as well.
I'm really happy.
Also I found APP on Android "After Focus Pro" - great software it can do what background defocus cant. So basically I can play with focus as on HTC M8 but in higher resolution (6 MP).
Cheers

Slow motion lost after sync from mac to iphone

Hi,
I can capture videos in slow motion but those videos play at normal speed once Sync them via iTunes.
1. Capture videos in slow motion.
2. The videos first play in slow motion in the iPhone. There is a time line slider to move the slo-mo effect back and forth.
3. I do a back-up via iTunes including videos.
4. After syncing, the videos in the iPhone appear in one album called "Slo-Mo".
5. In the thumbnail of the video clip I can see the small dial icon that all other slow motion videos have.
6. Playing the video shows a normal speed clip without the timeline slider under the video frames view.
The videos DO retain the slo-mo "effect" in Aperture and iPhoto also. Not in the iPhone after syncing.
Any hints to solve this? thanks
jp
iPhone 6 iOS8

Hi,
iOS 8.1 didn't fix the issue so here is my workaround to " show-off " my slow motion clips:
I have tried to open the clips with iMovie in the iPhone. ( I guess not everyone has iMovie installed...?)
So, you can create a new project in iOS iMovie and import the clip you want. Slow motion clips preserve the little dial icon so you can see which ones have the slo-mo effect. It will preserve the slow-motion sections of the original clip and will play "slow".
If for some magical reason your clip doesn't play "slow" in iOS iMovie click on the small "tachometer" icon and select the desired speed.
So. iMovie does know the clip has enough frames to play in slow motion... why the camera app doesn't ?
good luck,
jp

Help! Movies from iPhone 5 play in slow motion when opened in Quicktime on PC

Hi there,
I was hoping someone may have the answer or have encountered this problem as well, as I have been unable to find anything on it elsewhere on the net.
I have transferred some movies, taken on my iPhone 5, to my PC. However when they are opened in Quicktime (as recommended) they play in slow motion.
However, the sound still plays at normal speed.
I have already tried going into the QT settings where you can speed up the playback, but this doesn't work either, no matter how fast I set it to - they still play super slow.
Although they are taking up heaps of space, I am worried to delete the movies off the iPhone in case they have not copied over properly and I lose the originals!
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Hi Matthias, thanks for your response!
We are running on Windows XP, is that what you mean? I will try and download the VLC player and see what happens. Are iPhone 5 movies higher res than iPhone 4, as we can play those?
If it is the system, do you know whether or not if I save the movies to our PC, then transfer than to another computer, should they play ok? I just don't want to delete them off my phone and have them permanently slow, iykwim?
Sorry if my ignorance is showing - I'm not overly tech savvy when it comes to this stuff!
Many thanks again!
