Create Slow Motion FlickI have a mini DV cam, from Panasonic. I would like to know how to
create a slow motion movie. There are no settings on the cam itself, and the capture software that came bundled is also not helpful in this regard. Any ideas? Most good slow motion is from either special video cameras
or film. To get good slow motion, you need to shoot at a much higher frame rate then slow it down to normal. Some video editors can do it to some degree or another. I used to have links for dynapel.com and motionperfect.com, but both seem to have either vanished or no longer have that product. They created the slow motion effect by inserting interpolated frames in between your existing ones ( 1:1 would give a 50% slowdown). Hopefully others here will be able to give more detail on which software supports what you want to do. The reverse, "time lapse" is much easier -- you just yank out some number of frames between the ones you keep to "compress" the timeline. Vegas Video may have that ability, I have not played with it. Googling around should turn up some information also. mikey Show quoteHide quote "Htnakirs" <htnak***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1167491061.049024.51380@h40g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... >I have a mini DV cam, from Panasonic.

A bundled version may not be full featured. If it's not something you've already shot and your CC allows try increasing the shutter speed. My PV-DV53 recommends manual 1\350. Sport mode may/may not be the same.

You can get a slow motion effect in most full-feature video editing programs -- the program will double or triple (or some variation) frames to give the appearance of slow motion, but the effect will be choppy and not fluid. There are programs available (Dynapel makes one, as does Twixtor) that create "tweens," i.e. they calculate in-between-frames in an effort to smooth out movement. They work better than simply duplicating additional frames, but if you want a true, fluid slow motion effect, the only way to do it is with a high-speed camera. If you are using a Mac...... iMovie HD will let you slow down or speed
up DV footage fairly well. I did this for the end of a Martial Arts Video Demonstration recently. Slowed down the kids doing Bo staff and Nunchaku workouts. I'd GUESS Adobe Premiere could do this too, iMovie has the advantage of being FREE Skennen Peace. search for Kwiter on http://www.revver.com to see a preview of the Martial Arts video I mentioned. --- http://www.urbanskinz.com
