Editing 60 FPS clips without FCP? at DVinfo.net

Stephen Wright · February 12th, 2010, 01:49 PM

I know this has been asked before, but I'm curious to know if anyone has any new solutions. I'm on a Mac, working with FCE. I'm looking to get smooth slow mo clips by shooting my 7D in 60FPS mode. When I import into FCE, it cuts the number of frames, then doubles some up with the slow motion options there.

Is there an easy program that will convert full-speed clips to 24 fps (slow) using all 60 frames. I've tried MPEG Streamclip, which works, but takes forever.

Any solutions out there that don't involve FCP and Cinema Tools?
Thanks :)

This site is blocked at work here (they think it's porn I guess), but you can try the link.

QuickTime Tools

This should be a developer tool to change the header info of the quicktime clip to play at a different frame rate—essentially what I use Cinema Tools for.

Do you have After Effects? If so, then this is an fix. Import your footage into a project. Right click on your source footage, select interpret footage > main. Under the frame rate heading, click "Conform footage to frame rate", type in 23.976. Click OK. Drop your source footage into a new composition and then render using the codec of your choice.

Yes, a little more convoluted than the Cinema Tool method, but it works!

In FCP I usually just double click the file into the viewer (without putting it in the timeline) and change the speed (within the viewer) to 50% (or whatever I want) and then export it as a new clip, then reimport int and it's slowed down in the timeline nice a smooth.

I'm still working on some ideas...
