This is a video that I shot over the summer with my friend also named Max. I shot it using my GoPro HD hero 1 at 720p resolution with 60fps. At the time I was simply wanted to test out the camera underwater but after getting Final Cut Pro 10 I was curious to see how well it could put the footage into slow motion. Normally I would use Twixtor but I heard that the Final Cut Pro version was similar and worked very well. As you will notice most of the shots have the subject with a sky background because the frame blending works better with a blank background and doesn’t create as much warp. To create this effect in Final Cut Pro 10 you simply need to insert your clip into the project bar and under the effects tab click on slow motion and choose how slow you want it to be. Then go under the effects bar again and click on frame blending then optical flow and it will create the slow-motion effect seen in the video. I also used magic bullet looks, a color correction program, to highlight the main subjects and add a overall more professional look. This wasn’t very difficult but for those looking to get a decent slow motion effect without paying the $500 Twixtor effect, I suggest this method.
