You can 30f on the 60i timeline but i don't think so with 24f.

I am very new to this too but shooting with 2 XH-A1's and do the same as above but do shoot at 60i

I use 24f at the weddings I shoot. I love the look of the 24p as well as the better low light advantage. I do however shoot on Manual focus the whole time. I have been slowing down my footage with twixor, it works amazing! It takes some time to figure it out but you can get really good results. Here is a trailer that a finished recently with slowmo-

Joe,
Did you say you're slowmoing 24p???? I watched your trailer and loved the clean slowmo.
I've always avoided 24p cause I'm one of those sappy slowmo/dutch angle guys and traditionally 24p looked like poop when slowed down. If you're saying that Twixtor makes 24p slowmo look good then I'm listening.

Looks pretty good Joe. Liked the trailer too. Thanks for sharing.

That A1 can do some great things.

Joe, you make things confusing. I was all content to settle into 60i then look at your trailer, that is awsome.

Once again some of the talent on here is amazing.

Thanks for replying Joe,
The trailers were great, and the slo mo was astonishing, goes against everything i've heard. Was it because of twixtor or did you do something else in order to achieve that ie:really slow camera movement? Great site as well, you are very talented.

The slow-mo was done with Twixor only. The pull back shot of the flowers and shoes was at about 20% of normal speed same with the bride down the isle shot.

The exit of the couple with the pedals was the only thing that was shot on the HVX and it was shot in 24p at 60fps. A shot with pedals flying and lots of fast hand movement is hard to slow down with twixor. The twixor plug in " synthesizes unique new frames by warping and interpolating frames of the original sequence". So when you have those small moving pedals it makes it go a little crazy. But almost all shots during a wedding are not a problem to slow down with twixor.

Joe that was fantastic. The demo clip on the Twixtor site is pretty cool too. I wish I could find a similar plug-in that would work in Vegas.

Joe your work is so clean and has such a nice style.
Thanks for sharing.

Very Clean. i like it a lot you are not using crazy trans. It is nice and simple,

Here is a clip shot in 24F with a pile of A1s and an XL-H1, edited in FCP with a fair amount of slow-motion and no extra plug-ins. Looks okay, to me, but not nearly as good as what Joe posted. I wonder if twixtor could handle the time constraints of an SDE...

Patrick - did you intend to insert a link to the clip you mentioned?

Wow, completely missed that one:

Joe, what presets are you using? The demo above is amazing, very cinematic.
