Totally in love with your video and the snowy owl. Love it!!! Would like to see one in my life.

Do you do something special to use the 120fps at 240fps in Da Vinci or only 50% more slow down?

Thanks a lot.

Hi CC88,

Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you liked it so much.... very encouraging for me to hear.

Regarding the 120fps => 240fps, nothing special is required in Davinci. Just drop the speed to 50% and you're good to go.

If you do use Davinci there's something I've discovered to help you get your panned footage to move smoothly and not be jerky like the fence footage in the above clip. When you use Davinci's Stabilization tool, make sure you select "Optical Flow" and "Enhanced Better" under the Retime and Scaling section. Without these setting you just can't get the pans to play back smoothly.

Cheers,
Rudy

If I load a 120P video on, say, a 60p timeline in DaVinci Resolve, and slow down the footage by 50% I get 2X slow motion. If the timeline is 30p, I can slow it down to 25% and get 4X slow motion. I do not see that this is equivalent to shooting at 240p.

I am not saying you have done anything wrong, I just do not understand what you did exactly and why it like shooting at 240p.
