Hello all,
I'll be shooting some mountain biking with a GoPro Hero 2 tomorrow and wanted some advice on settings.
Much of the footage will ultimately appear as slow motion, but in a 1080p video.
My options are:

Im working on a music video in FCP and some clips are 30fps and others are 60fps. I set the Sequence to 60fps because the majority of my clips are 60fps and that way I don't have to render it every time I make a change to the clip. But does that mean | | | | |

Thanks for sharing you clips. I can certainly see the ghosting effect in your first and third clip, which provides an interesting warping effect on the wings (if you desire that effect) but the ramping in the second clip (starting around 0 | | | | |

Hi Brad,
Perhaps my terminology was not correct, but when I was refrring to frame rate, I meant changing the number of frames in Twixtor. The A77 shoots at 59.94 fps I believe, and I was increasing the number of frames created by the Twixtor plug in | | | | |

Um, sorry but the maximum frame rate on that camera is 60 (59.94?) frames/sec. You were adjusting some other parameter: ISO? Exposure time? Who knows? But it wasn't frame rate!
I recommend opening up the camera's manual and reading it. | | | | |

Hi Brad,
Its interesting that we are trying to do the same thing with hummingbirds and Twixtor at the same time. I spent several hours trying to slow down hummingbird wings with Twixtor last night. I'm also shooting 1080p at 59.97fps with a Sony A77 | | | | |

I agree: 59.94 is still too low a frame rate to slow down a hummingbird's wings.
Even by conforming the footage to a 29.97 frame rate, which slows the shot down by a factor of two, then applying twixtor to slow it down by another factor of two, | | | | |

When there is a lot of motion, or things coming in from off screen, Twixtor can have a very difficult time tracking. I don't think you are doing anything "wrong" per se but have shots that are problematic for Twixtor.

I want to throw this out there first - to "conform" is to make something comply to standards. We're using it for two different things in this conversation.

Ok! that makes complete, total sense now...
When you say "re-conform your footage to 1/30th or 1/24th," do you mean do that within the camera or FCP (like the sequence settings)?
