You can now drop your newly converted 60i/60p clip into your 24p timeline, slow it down to 40% and you will have really nice slow motion.
EDITREADY CONFORMING FOR SLOWMO UPDATE
In fact the inspector will automatically update to see the clip as a 59.94p file, rather than a 29.97i file. From there, simply click ‘De-interlace’ and voila, your clip can now be treated as a 60p clip. With all that said, there is a way around this and in FCP X it is ridiculously simple.Īll you need to do is select your clip in the event, click on the inspector, and change the view to ‘Settings’. There just wouldn’t be enough frames to cover the reduction in speed and you would get very jumpy footage. 60i on the other hand, can’t just be dropped into a 24p timeline and slowed down because it takes two fields to create one frame, meaning you really only have 30 frames to start with, not 60. If you were to attempt slowing down a 60i image to 40% it would look as bad as slowing down a 30p image to 40%. When working with true 60p footage, you can slow it down to 40% on a 24p timeline, and it will play back in perfect slow motion, giving you beautiful results. You might have seen an image that looks like this when paused: If you’ve ever shot something on tape and ingested it into your computer, you probably know what fields look like. They may sound similar, but they are very different. 60p on the other hand, represents 60 individual FRAMES which are complete images in themselves.

60i represents 60 interlaced FIELDS (not frames) – well actually 59.94 to be exact. Unfortunately, many great cameras today such as the Blackmagic Cinema Camera or Canon C100 don’t have a 60p option, and make our lives difficult as we are forced to rent specialty gear whenever we need slow motion. The good news is that many cameras lacking in 60p do have a 60i option available, and while you may have avoided it like the plague in the past, this post will show you how 60i can become your new best friend.įor those of you that haven’t shot in 60i or 60p before, let me briefly explain the difference. We want to be able to capture slow motion and the only way to properly get it is to over crank – which means shooting more frames than you need so that you can slow it down in post without skipping frames. One of the most important features that many of us look for when buying a camera is undoubtably variable frame rates, specifically 60p.
