Response to Slow-motion in DV

from Doug Conant (dc1099@hotmail.com)
DK,

Slow-motion will need to be achieved in post. If you are using/going to use Adobe Premiere go to the Clip menu, then Speed. There you can slow down or speed up a clip based on a percentage (100% being normal), and clip length. It looks really nice and has no flicker or strobe effect until you go beyond around 20-15%, and even then it is still very little. I'm sure you can do this with just about every other NLE and the menu sections should be similar also. In the camera you can change the shutter speed which will cause a definite strobe effect and be very blurry, which is still usefull, but does not make for a very accurate slow-motion effect. It also cannot slow speech or sound, where as in an NLE like Premiere, it will slow the audio as well as the video automatically, but you can choose not to slow either one if you don't want to by going through a few extra steps. If you don't know how, but want to know, just ask me. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

-Doug
