Creating slow motion in Final Cut Pro with Super8 18fps

[orangefunk]

Has anyone in here created slow motion footage in Final Cut Pro (or any other NLE software) from super8 footage shot originally at 18fps?

I just want decent quality and am not expecting to get smooth 54fps looking stuff.

I have done it with Media 100 and AfterEffects. The footage was transferred from a projector to Video Camera so the results were not great. If your footage was transferred frame by frame, you'd be much better off. Depending on how slow you opt for, the results will obviously vary. There are only so many frames to work with. If you have AfterEffects you might try checking the "frame blending" box and see what the results are.

Good luck

I use Final Cut for DV but im new to 8mm, youll probably face some choppy slow motion at 18 fps you might want to try frame by fram fades to blend it a bit sorry dont know much about the transfer from 8mm to digital, a nice projector and 3ccds might help if you dont go frame by frame heh

Thanks for the tips so far.

I shoot skate boarding footages on super 8 for that nice raw look. So I just transfer with a projector and a single CCD came. I like the flicker and roughness from this process.

I was just curious about the slowmo with the 18fps shots. I usually shot at 54fps at the time when I want someting in slowmo, but sometimes when editing, I see a footage that I shot normal and wished I had shot it slowmo.
This is where my Final Cut Pro question came in.

I'll try the After Effects tips that was mentioned.
