Slow Motion Goodness on Gear Jammer SFU Burnaby mountain

 Make sure you shoot with the highest frame-rate your camera can film at... In you're case it'd be 720p @ 60 frames per minute. I guess software has a little to do with it as well.

 Also shutter speed helps. Your shutter speed should be double your frame rate ie if your shooting at 60 fps your shutter speed should be at 120 (you can go higher than that if its purely for slow-mo at regular speed footage might start to look choppy).When slowing down the footage in a editing program try not to slow it down more than 50%. The lenses will also make a big difference. Hope that helps! Really enjoyed that edit by the way Hellben.

 Yeah I shoot my slowmo with 60 fps but it still isn't as crisp as this video's. I will try the shutter speed thing too. I edit on Final Cut Express and never slow it down lower than 50%. Thanks for the help guys!

 Make sure you take off frame blending on the slomo settings.... Final cut 7 keeps frame blending on. If anything just YouTube it.

 Yep I always turn off the frame blending too lol

 Hey I tried out turning the shutter speed up, and my slow motion is much, much better now! Thanks!!

 Glad that helped!

 I just started to play around with the new "twixtor" plug-in for Final Cut Pro X but that's a whole other editing chapter!!! For this edit I just wanted to see what 60fps looked like using the regular re-time. I wanted everything to go with the beat so I trimmed and slowed down the shots as needed. Some are @ 70%, some @ 65% some go down to 50%.

 ooooh i see, ive been switching from final cut to premiere just for the better speeds lately. the options in final cut are a little slim
