10000 FPS Slow Motion Questions

I am shooting at 10000 fps using the Sony HVR-V1U. I am attempting to achieve a smooth slow motion shot. Final cut shows the footage as being very jerky and blurry. Does Final Cut support high fps and if so how do I import it properly so that I can either slow down the footage to play back smoothly or change the playback speed in Final Cut?

Thanks

Uh...that camera cannot shoot 10000fps. The max it can shoot is 30fps. The SHUTTER can be switched to 1000 (but not 10,000 I don't think), but that is not the FRAME RATE, it is the SHUTTER speed. Two very different things.

That is what a high shutter rate tends to do.

Not 10,000fps. Not that it matters, you didn't shoot 10,000fps.

This camera does not shoot at 10,000 fps (frames per second). It can shoot with a 1/10,000 shutter. Big difference. 1/48 shutter is the equivalent of a 180 degree film shutter shooting at 24 fps. This camera will work at that shutter speed. That would be "normal"

The camera shoots at these speeds and modes: 1080p24, 1080p30, and 1080 60i. All video is processed at 1920x1080 at 60p in full 4:2: 2, for optimum picture quality. In the 1080 24p mode, the images are scanned at the full 1080 lines, and 2:3 pull down is added and recorded to the 60i HDV tape.
