I was just told by a friend that if I film at 60 fps, I need to keep the shutter speed at 120+ to be able to do the slow motion efficiently with good quality. Why is this?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/playback-in-slo-mo-directly-from-tape#post-71839 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:38:26 +0000 sunkleep 71839@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've offered to video tape youth hockey games (my son's team) and I want to playback the tapes to show slow-motion or stop-motion without having to pull the raw footage into my NLE (Vegas Pro). Is there a software package that will allow me to accomplish this on my laptop (at the ice arena, usually). The coach will discuss what he sees on the tape, and I will run the laptop to accomidate his coaching (simple slo-mo and reverse-motion should be all that is needed). We see this all the time with professional sports, but I don't have the resources (money) to do this for a high school team. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/slow-mo-in-final-cut-pro#post-58918 Sun, 23 May 2010 19:05:40 +0000 jsanti3 58918@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>One thing I am trying to understand is how to get better slow motion footage. From what I hear it seems people shoot at a higher frame rate and then import the footage at a lesser one. Is that true? If so, how do you do that in Final Cut Pro? Example shooting at 60p and then bringing into 24p. Outside of Final Cut Pro, is there any other software you need to have to accomplish this effect? Can someone please explain this?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/golf-video-up-on-a-big-screen-in-10-minutes#post-65357 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 03:09:43 +0000 SpectateSwamp 65357@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This last summer we took 2 camcorders and my laptop to the golf course. We learned a lot and now can do an even better job in the same amount of time. The initial problem with our playback was that we showed each short clip then that 3 to 15 second clip in slow motion. The 15 sec videos were just too long and the audience lost interest. A quick fix to the program and now just the last 3 seconds (the swing) of video is played back in slow motion. Having 2 camcorders the videos needed to be synched. I'm writing a quickie program to merge the catalog file. One other feature added was the ability to play back the videos by 4some. As each group comes to the tee shoot a short short video of less than 2 seconds. This creates a break record when doing the catalog function. I can use the new merge option to insert a large font slowed print of each players name(have list day before) just prior to the video play. A future option will be to allow for video from camcorder #1 to play on large screen #1 and Video from camcorder #2 in time with each other.</p> <p>So within 10 to 12 minutes after leaving the course the golfers are seeing the random playback of the round they just finished. A large font displays the player name. The view from behind plays at normal speed then the last 3 seconds play in slow motion. Then the side view camcorder video plays. followed by the last 3 seconds (the swing) in slow motion. Then the next player in that foursome. </p> <p>Once that is playing. The DVD copies can start to be burned. For a fee.</p> <p>They loved the videos at both events. That was the part we missed videoing. They really enjoyed the show.</p> <p>Anyway there is a thread about "Digital Video Showdown" where everybody gets called out on the sad state of Digital Video. Come on over if you dare. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-hdr-155e-slow-motion#post-66991 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:59:10 +0000 kuanyin 66991@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi fellow videographers. I am relatively new to video making. I have just purchased this camcorder and very happy with the product. During my research into this camcorder I checked one video on YouTube that showed the cam producing slow motion but it did not show you how to do it. Anybody on the forum who can help me produce slow motion video?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ok-go-fan-video#post-64306 Sun, 19 Dec 2010 19:39:47 +0000 PJ McConnell 64306@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I recently made a short fan video based on the Ok Go "End Love" music video, with nutcrackers! This is a stop motion, with a few slow motion clips, and some new jingle bells and bells added in the background. Before you criticize too much, this was my first stop-motion animation ever attempted and is meant to be a direct copy of the original video. So saying this, I am not exactly posting this looking for critiques because this was not too much of a serious project and was unoriginal. Just figured I would post it for you to see!</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ycttux8Uhc&amp;hd=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ycttux8Uhc&amp;hd=1</a></p> <p> </p> <p>and watch the original first if you haven't seen it it before!</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2fpgpanZAw" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2fpgpanZAw</a></p> <p> </p> <p>PS: So sad I don't have a camera that record a higher FPS, huh?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/slow-motion-looks-like-real-time#post-61818 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:57:29 +0000 Kriwix 61818@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hallo!<br />I'am a new one here. first of all sorry for my bad english :) <br />So, I'am not sure it's a right place to ask about that (I mean Speacial Effect section) but...</p> <p>Is anyone know how to make a video effect (or this is filming technique) which is looks like slow motion in real time. For example "Nightwish" music video "Wish I Had An Angel" (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcyTR5mEC_E" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcyTR5mEC_E</a>)<br />Of course, I found one tip how to make that, it's when you speed up music to 150%, then shoot the artists with this fast music and then in editing software slow down this video. Hmm, probably it's works, but maybe here is some other options how to make that?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/doing-slow-mo-with-60fps-footage-properly#post-59104 Thu, 27 May 2010 06:59:30 +0000 Vcize 59104@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm editing using Sony Vegas Pro 9.  I also have After Effects CS4 for motion graphics, titles, etc.</p> <p>After having some problems with my slow motion looking choppy with 30fps footage (since it was just copying the same frame to create the slow motion), I was told the best solution was just to shoot at a higher frame rate.</p> <p>So, now I'm shooting at 60fps (progressive).  However, what's the proper method for actually creating slow motion from this?  I've seen in some FCP forums some people recommending that you actually change the FPS of the clip to create slow motion.  Is this the proper approach, or should I be using Vegas Pro's built-in slow motion utilities like ctrl-dragging the length of the clip, or using velocity envelopes?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/300fps-professional-video-camera-exists#post-48527 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 08:33:53 +0000 leethaxoor 48527@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>For years, I did my professional work with a Canon XL2, then XLH1. I film a lot of wildlife, and was looking into overcranking capabilities. I discovered the Panasonic HVX200, which overcranks to 60fps. The quality is great, and the video result is stunning (for subjects like running horses and flying birds).</p> <p>I am so in love with the aesthetic of slow motion, I wanted to try out the Casio EX-F1 camera. It's a toy, but it has record modes at 300, 600, and 1200fps. The quality is pretty trashy, but the visuals are spectacular.</p> <p>I would love to purchase a prosumer or professional camera, price range under $15,000 that would be able to record 30fps video with sound, obviously, but have a 300fps mode. Good HD quality, even SD would be acceptable, but 320x480 from the EX-F1 Pro just isn't going to cut it for broadcast.</p> <p>I've looked and looked, I don't think such a camera exists. Maybe something to do with the sensor, or the way the rotating shutter records high speed video... whatever the reason, I've yet to see anything.</p> <p>You'd think this would be a fairly popular technology? I've never seen anything compare to a good 300fps movie... they're just spectacular.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks to anyone and everyone who recommends cameras.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/editing-software-3#post-51314 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:41:37 +0000 Sk8EditPro94 51314@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> As a skater, all I'm really looking for is a software that can do good slow motion. I'm sure it also has to do with my lack of experience that I can't do good slow mo, but I just want to make sure it has that capability, like for example Windows Movie Maker can't do good slow motion because it only allows you to use the "slow down half" feature. I will learn how to make slow mo edits later, but first I need to find a consumer quality software that I can work with on practicing my slow motion. Can anyone please help?

I'm interested in cameras that gives the most bang for the buck, under $5K, or poor man's high speed videography. The camera does not have to be portable. Black and white camera is ok. The intended use is sports training analysis.</p> <p>There are a few consumer camcorders with slightly faster frame rate (e.g. sony hdr-sr12 at 240fps, samsung sc-hmx20 at 300fps, casio ex-fh20 at 1000fps but terrible resolution). These all sell for under $1000.</p> <p>The next step up is professional high speed video cameras with no pricing info on the web. I assume they cost $10K or more. So is there something to fill the gap between these two types?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jerky-slow-motion-in-premiere-cs3-shot-60-fps-need-immediate-help#post-40759 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:56:45 +0000 Dysfunkshunal 40759@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am editing a music video where we shot a good deal of it with the audio mix sped up 100% and then filmed the band at 60 FPS, so that when played back they have that surreal, "singing and playing in real time but looks kinda slowish" feel.  It's been done a billion times and I know you know what I'm talking about.</p> <p>At any rate, when I right click on the clips in the timeline and choose "Speed/Duration", then drop it to 50% (with the Frame Blend option checked), it plays in the source windows at a nice, smooth speed.  But, when I render the clips out, suddenly they playback WORSE, containing jerky motion and it's not at all smooth anymore.</p> <p>Can anyone tell me how to fix this?  I've tried checking off Frame Blend as well but it still looks the same; clunky when rendered.  I think it's odd that it plays back so smoothly when not rendered (I'm assuming my vidcard is responsible for the video playback of unrendered clips?).  Here's some critical data that might help you come up with a solution:</p> <p>Shot On:  Panasonic DVC PRO HD Camera w/ Red Rock Lens<br /> Editing:  Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (licensed)<br /> Editing Mode:  P2 720p 60Hz DVCPROHD<br /> Frame Size:  960 x 720 (16:9)<br /> Timebase:  23.976 frames/second<br /> Pixel Aspect Ratio:  HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.33)<br /> Display Format: 24 fps timecode</p>
