What software did you use to slow down this video?

[laflippin]

It's not a software trick. The Casio EX-F1 can take video at 300 fps so...when those video files are played back at the 'normal' rate of 30 frames per second the video comes out as smooth slo-mo.

There are lots of software packages that will convert std. 30 fps video to slo-mo, but it will always look 'choppy' because no software can fill in the data that was lost between frames when you record at a slow frame rate.

What type of camera are do you use for this? It's something I could use when I'm pitching.

[laflippin]

I use a Casio EX-F1 and a cheap tripod for this slo-mo video.

@jovanb101 this video? Did you ... nevermind.

[jovanb101]

what does randy do that makes him throw so hard?

[rw5791]

now that's what u call "tall 'n fall". Shit,if he pitched on the high mound back in the 60's he would have been unhittable.
