1) Import your footage in Final Cut Pro X
2) Deinterlace your footage to get a pre-slowed clip (optional)
3) Use the new awesome Retime Editor to slow things even more
4) Color grade and export your project

  • Interesting.. But your clip is still artefacting. Tip: DON'T USE INTERLACED FOOTAGE! Any camera that can shoot progressive 50/60fps plus, then retimed using Optical Flow WILL PRODUCE BETTER RESULTS. E.g Panasonic SD900 shoots 50fps @27mbs @1080p.. Only £550! So it doesn't cost a fortune for really good slow mo!

  • @FCPWHAT You're right, in fact this tutorial teaches you how to use Optical Flow AND deinterlace a clip to slow it down even further, but of course if your camera shoots progressive 50 or 60 frames per seconds you can just conform your footage to 25p and the Retime it to gain better results ;)

  • Ciao Fabrizio una curiosità hai provato con i file progressivi generati da un reflex tipo 5d markII?

  • @domenicobandiera Ciao! Purtroppo non ho una DSLR quindi non ho provato. In ogni caso, se utilizzi file progressivi puoi saltare (ovviamente) il passaggio di JES Deinterlacer e procedere direttamente con l'Optical Flow.

  • or you could just d it in under 2 minutes in motion 5

  • @qdog1342 Stabilization is quicker in Final Cut, and Color Board is a feature. JES Deinterlacer is a necessary step for some kinds of footage. So actually there's no real advantage in doing this in Motion 5, especially if your editing a video with more clips in it.

  • PLEASE HELP!!

    Really great tutorial, simple and clear, but mine doesn't seem to work :(

    I don't know why but at 2:40 I don't have the option to click 'Filter chroma' (that button isn't there at all) and at 3:30 I don't have the option to select 'ProRes 422' or any of the ProRes options. Do you know why this is happening???

    I tried it with the Photo-JPEG option and the end result wasn't smooth slow motion at all, it was really "clunky"

    PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

see all

  • mine doesn't have the transcoded media or high quality media

  • Can you get the speed to anything other than 50%, 25%, or 5%?

  • Hey you guys!

    Check out my tutorial on how to ramp slow mo on final cut 7. If any of you still use that editing program. ;). But check it out, its clear and will defiantly help you get the nice professional looking slow mo you want!

  • When i hit cmd r the tool bar on the side doesn't pop open it just puts a yellow bar over my clip for whatever speed i want to play it in. any idea on how to open that side bar

  • @FabrizioLINUZRinaldi ho provato ma mi fa una serie di artefatti attorno al soggetto in movimento......
