Good clean smooth musical video-like slow mo....how?

I suppose you still must adjust the velocity to slow the clip down, otherwise Vegas will render the clip "correctly".

Trey....

you're doing great, so far. now, all you have to do is slo it down with a velocity envelope.

Oh, just remembered....when you render the 60 fps, be sure to choose a format that supports 60 fps. If you use the DV codec, the default is 29.97 and it will re-set to this frame rate. I use UNCOMPRESSED. Pretty big files, but, if you're needing to do a short clip, it works fine.

just deinterlace the video after you apply the slow motion effect

????? de-interlace....that's a non-sequitor. I think you mean resample.

If you are going to split out each field into a frame you will in effect
lower your vertical resolution by 50%. You do know this, right?

This doesn't have to be a problem, ofcourse, depends on your
needs and stuff.

<<<-- Originally posted by Bill Ravens : Overcranking involves turning each field into an individual frame, resulting in 60 frames/sec, then slowing the motion back to 30 frames/sec. The price of doing this is a reduced rez. I haven't found a convenient way to do this in V4, but, it can be done very easily in VirtualDub. The resulting 60fps file is then imported in V4 for slomo with the velocity envelope and resample turned on..

how do you get virtualdub and what do you have to to to be able to capture or import on it??

But I do remember a clear behind-the-scene shot of the main video monitor while the action was being recorded by the main camera. I saw 24 fps at the bottom of the screen. That particular shot that was one the monitor ended in the final music video in slow mo. It was clean.>>>>

There's always the possibility that the shot in question was made both at 24 fps and again at a higher frame rate in a subsequent take?
