I have footage shot on Sony slomo, I believe at 100fps, but I want to play it back at real time, 25fps. Is there a tool I can use to make the footage look smoother, as if it was shot at 25, so doesn’t have that crispy, choppy, jittery look of a high frame rate?
thanks
As a test, drop the clip to the timeline, then adjust the speed of the clip to something like 99% or 101% to force FCP to slightly speed up or slow down the clip. Choose Clip Video Quality of Better (Optical Flow) and then render the clip.
If you have the option, time and disc space, you could try out a setting of Best (Machine Learning).
After you have rendered the rate changed clip on the timeline - see if the clip appearance and apparent smoothness is improved.

just realized the clip is technically 25p, as it was shot in a Sony ‘slomo’ mode not actually in 100p. So the rate conform doesn’t show up, as the clip frame rate matches the project.
im guessing maybe some sort of motion blur effect might be the ticket?
Calculatedly, if you increase the speed by 4 times, it becomes normal speed. Whether it looks smooth or not depends on your personal opinion.
You may want to try the options under Rate Conform and see if they help.
FWIW it is quite natural that it looks like you described, as the shutter speed is much higher (typically 1/200 for 100fps).
how do i make slomo footage look smooth when playing at normal speed?
