I know this has been discussed and discussed over and over (for years), but I cannot seem to find a direct answer to my issues online.

I shot some 1280 x 720 60i footage with my T2i and I want to slow it down in a 24p timeline in FCP. After I converted the raw canon footage to ProRes, I opened the 60i footage in Cinema Tools and conformed it to 23.98. I then opened the newly conformed footage in a 24p FCP timeline and it DID slow the footage down, and it looked pretty good, but there was some major interlacing on some parts (yes I was panning the camera a bit fast, but still).

After some research I found that the JES Deinterlacer would help to fix this so I download it but I am unsure of what settings to use. Below are screen grabs of the tabs that I'm confused about.

There is no such thing as 720i... All 720 footage is Progressive, which doesn't explain your issue, I know...

I mean 720p at 60 fps. Sorry about that.

Or if someone knows a better / easier way to deinterlace before I conform in Cinema Tools lemme know.

Thanks.

Hi Oliver,

Forget about JES for this. Your footage from the T2i is progressive already. You may want to check this tutorial for getting super slowmo's.

Tutorial - Canon 60d 1000fps using Apple Motion instead of Twixtor on Vimeo

Or if you are satisfied with what you have i would just use Cinema tools and conform it to 23.98 fps. Done

Good luck.
