Phil I think I found the FCE slowmo framerate conversion solution here, useful for anyone looking for it, bloody hard to find!

A free plug in called: JES Interlacer

Hi Phil
I want to do slowmo. from 50p shot on my 550d. Saw your tutorial on using cinema tools but I am running FCE so not available to me. I have seen others say use speed function, ie: 50% to get half speed. Am I right in thinking this is not a correct solution. If not any suggestions? On another note I have just watched your “Southend” short and loved it. As an Essex boy i’ve done a few trips there, spot on!

I enjoyed your DVD on taking video with the Canon 7D. What wireless mic did the girl with the flaxen hair use?-Al Marsh, Frederick, MD

Hello Philip!

I admire your work, it is great!

I’ve been working like 2 months now with T2i, colors and feel are great, but when panning the video is not smooth, it’s like a strobing when panning the camera. Im shooting on 1080p @24fps. Converting to XDCAM HD 24 on MpegStramclip to edit in FCP, but even original native files are strobing when panning. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Phil,

Love your work. I’m on the band wagon thanks to you. I’m loving the 5Dmark2 and seem to b getting lots of requests to use it at work.

I was wondering if you could recommend a monitor that has a decent peaking and zebra function with a HDMI signal? I’ve been struggling to find one, but maybe I’m looking in the wrong price range?

Cheers

Phil

Ive edited a short I shot in 1080 with the Rebel t2i using FCP . But when I try to compress for the best quality on DVD with compressor it looks nowhere nearly as good as in FCP/Color…

Do you have any solutions for getting a finished short onto a SD DVD with optimal quality for video and sound???

Thanks.
