I've been working on my little film projects and I think I've finally nailed down the right settings to get some nice silky smooth slow motion b-roll!. Here's the secret sauce - although I'm sure it's not that much of a secret. I'm just glad to share my findings:
- shoot your footage in 60fps
- import into your editor but make sure the timeline is set to 24fps
- trim your clips
- select them and change the video speed by using the value 40%
That's it - 40% seems to be that nice sweet spot to slow down the footage as much as possible before it starts 'jittering' which I believe is the editor adding frames.
Bonus Tip for the cinematic black bars:
In Davinci simply head up to 'timeline' and near the bottom is output blanking - choose 2.39. There's other options too if you want 4:3 etc.
Here's a little montage of myself and some fellow photographer friends stomping around in the snow trying to get some nice images near the lakeshore.
