sorry - the cruel claws of real life sprawl outta me .... 😁
first of all - I'm a bit 'out' of iMovie - haven't done any real projects for about two years (FCPX & M5 are my favorite toys now).
I own two devices with 50/60p …
AVCHD 1080/50p isn't supported for straight import by iM11; you can convert manually to a mov …
the other one records 720/60p as h264.mov - imports straight into iM11 ....
iM11 Projects support only 30fps max (there was a hack to support 60fps output - sorry, lost the link)
when you apply a 50% slowmo, iM11 has to convert/'optimise' my imported material. theoretically, a 50% slowmo of a 60fps recording in a 30fps project should result in a 'lossless', flawless, super-smooth slowmo (it does in FCPX) - in my humble observation, it doesn't - although the converted file is listed in Finder as '60', it LOOKS like 30.- ????
honestly? Someone else should test that 😉
.... maybe, I find the time to create a simple 60fps file with an on-screen timestamp; doing the above, and then stepping frame-by-frame would proof real-50%, or just blending ...
.... but I'm actually in prepping the next soccer-season, needs new screen-design, son asks for "Daddy, like in Fifa13!" arghghgh… anyone expert in 3D-CGI? 😁
