Q: Final Cut Pro X distorted footage during slow motion

I am having problems with my latest project and need help.

The specs of my system are as follows;

The footage I am working with is;

My project properties are set to the same and when I try to slow the footage down to 25% and I apply optical flow to it I get a lot of distortion. I the image I am sending shows some but as the footage moves the distortion gets worse.

Am I doing something wrong???? Please help!

    You are asking the software to generate three out of four frames.

    To get great slomo you should shoot at highrr frame rate than your project. For example shooting at 60fps and editing a 30fps project allows cor 50% slomo to use all the captured frames or for 25% you'd need only to have the software generate one out two frames.
