Experiments in HD
httpv://youtu.be/nDpMXHdAvkY
This is a video of my dog Benson playing with his ball. It is filmed on my Sony HD-1000P in 1080i High Definition. I then imported it into iMovie and slowed it to 25%. I then exported it as 1080p, as interlaced video makes me want to break things! BADLY!
The Sony HD-1000P has a slow motion mode built in, but apart from only being able to film in 3 second bursts, the video looses all of the sharpness and clarity we love in HD. PAL video is only 25 frames per second, and to output into progressive I imagine iMovie has re-encoded to 30. This is obviously why it is jerky when slowed to 25%, it’s only 6 or 7 frames per second.
Even though it’s not perfect, it’s what Ive got, made with what I have, and I will keep working with what I have to make it the best I can. Any idea’s or suggestions on how to make smooth and sharp HD slow motion from 1080i at 25 FPS source video would be greatly appreciated.
To view it in 1080P, click the “360p” in the bottom of the screen when the video is playing to open a menu, and then select 1080P.
