That was going to be my suggestion as well. Twixtor does some amazing slo-mo but it will take time to crunch it.

Boris Optical Flow will also do a good job. Maybe not quite as good as Twixtor, but it's pretty good.

I'll throw in my vote on Twixtor as well. Amazing plugin, and though it adds a bit of time to your workflow it's not that bad. Much quicker than adding Magic Bullet effects. Make sure you work through the tutorials with Twixtor though. It has quite a few settings and understanding what they do will definitely get you better results than just guessing or leaving them on the default.

I didn't see anywhere at what shutter speed you are shooting. If you by any chance were shooting under 1/60th then it would be hard to do a decent slowmo with the FX1.
