I'm Shooting a Music Video - Need Help!
Hey all, I'm brand new to this forum but I already love it. You guys are all so helpful from what I've seen.
I'm shooting my first music video for a local college film competition and I just have a few questions. I'm using a Canon XH-A1. Ok so here's my question...if you were shooting this music video (lots of quick cuts and moving/jumping about) would you shoot it all in 60i? I plan on trying to do some slow motion sequences, and from what I've read in other forum posts it seems that I would. My next question is exactly how I would go about creating good slow motion. I am using FCP and just doing the Command+J Speed entry is not very good. I do have Adobe After Effects, but I haven't been successful so far in trying to create good slow motion yet, so I would need pretty good and detailed instructions. I really appreciate any help, I love this forum and from what I've seen the users of this forum is the best way to get the kind of camera help I need. Thanks! |

Slow Motion
The optical flow feature in Motion would be a great way to get good slow motion clips. You can just round trip from FC to Motion. It will take a lot of processor and time to render, but I think you will be very happy with the results.

If your into AE look up Andrew Kramer from video copilot... some awesome online free tutorials and I think there are a couple on speed changes etc.
Also FCP 7 has a heap better ramp / variable speed tool which works really well. J |
