FAST-MOTION? Like Charlie Chaplin-esque?
So I'm shooting some video off a Sony HD handycam, it shoots 1080 at 60, normal speeds, good quality, it's nice. It already does the slow-mo golf thing on its own, but the reverse of that, the fast-motion, is not an option! If I wanted to shoot fast-motion a la Charlie Chaplin or something like that, but even faster, can I do some sort of an effect in iMovie to make that happen from normal speed footage?
In fact, what I want to do is shoot zipping cars on the freeways and roads, crowds of people piling in all at once like bees and such, not quite stop-motion, but very fast zippety movement, as if you were to take a film camera and shoot it at 4FPS or something, as opposed to the 16FPS which was the old days of Chaplin's B/W. Chaplin speed is OK, I just need something one step faster. You know the kind?
If I can get the video camera to slow down frame rate to that point, I will, but I need a more Pro-Video camera to do that, and I don't have that, so I am trying to figure it out in iMovie.
Thank you for your expert advice.
