    Hey tjis may sound stupid but all of you wth a XL1s or other cameras like it with the "Frame Record" um does that let you speed up or slow down to get slow mo or fast mo? if not wat does it really do?

    it means that anything you shoot will be de-interlaced.

    you can't do slo or fast motion on video i don't think. unless something really amazing has been made.

    old once upon a time in mexico was video and the slow mo was not great in that.

    oh and if you can shoot interlaced and de-interlace in your editing software. you get a slightly better picture this way.

    hope i helped, hope i was right!

    Alot of people try to deinterlace thier footage to make it look more film like. But in doing so you are reducing the quality of the footage.

    basically the in camera method is lower in quality, i don't know the technicalities of it myself but having spoken to many people, read through stuff and tried comparisons and its true as the day god made me

    hello, other half here. Shooting "Frame" on an XL1S (or other miniDV cameras) means you lose about 30 lines resolution or so. De-interlacing later should look just a bit better in that case. Either way, quality is lower than Interlaced DV footage, BUT it looks more pleasing and less like raw video. With dv, one should de-interlace the lower field as this is the dominant one. WindowSlaws 1 was right. Video can't be Slo-mo yet, not even high def, and when they work out how to make it run at different speeds properly, film will be on its way out for good.

    P.S apparently, the BEST way to de-interlace footage in post-production is to use photoshop and de-interlace every frame - but on a feature?? I wouldn't like that job.

    Actually there is a HD slowmo camera out now. But it can only do 60fps I think.

    I beg to disagree.
    REALVIZ ReTimer Professional lets you speed up or slow down any video, film, or image sequence, giving you the ultimate flexibility during post-production. With an innovative technology that enables calculation of each pixel move, REALVIZ ReTimer Professional automatically generates new frames in between existing frames, enabling high quality slow downs.

    That software looks good but it's a little pricey. A cheaper alternative is to adjust the speed of your clips in your NLE. Don't know which your using - I'm on Final Cut and that seems to do an adequate job.
