Slow Motion in Davinci Resolve is Super Easy! - 120fps to 24fps in a SNAP!

Help me so much thx, watching you from France!❤

[@millianomaria5498]

thanks! so much clear! :)

Ur voice is sooo relaxing

[@jwphotoworks]

Oh thank you!

[@m_w_TR]

Du bist großartig, mein Freund. Danke..

[@Tw1x5000]

ah, thanks for that simple tip! so you just have to open the clip attributes on all slow-motion-shots and choose the framerate you want to work with on your timeline... i thought it would convert the clip or something like that if i choose 29.97 fps on my 59.94 fps clips... straight to the point 🙂

[@clevelandsfinestentertainment]

Thank you so much

[@jwphotoworks]

You're most welcome, glad I could help!

[@tonycaine5930]

What frame rate is the timeline or does it not matter?

[@jwphotoworks]

The frame rate of the project and the timeline is 24.

[@martin_media]

That looks like the skate park at Surrey rec centre 😉

[@jwphotoworks]

Ha! That’s ‘cause it is! Nice catch. Such a fun park.

[@mikeali5400]

Very helpful

[@jwphotoworks]

Glad I could help.

[@thermax292]

in the beginning of your presentation the clip is in the media pool, how are you playing your clip without it being in the timeline, Thanks

[@jwphotoworks]

You can double click on a clip in the media pool and it will open in the viewer, allowing you to then play it and/or scrub through it to set the IN and OUT points of the portion of the clip that you want to slow down. This is an important first step because it's also the step that you change the clip attributes(frame rate) of the clip from 30, 60, or 120, down to 24fps before you drag the portion you want to work with down to the timeline. Hope that helps, and thanks for the comment!

[@thermax292]

@@jwphotoworks Thank you

[@auroraflash]

24 or 23.976?

[@jwphotoworks]

24. 😀

[@racardodavis]

How did you come up with your calculations for slow motion? I'm curious if there's a formula I can remember to use whenever I want to transform my 60fps and 120fps footage into a 24fps timeline.

[@jwphotoworks]

Hi there, great question, here is the calculation list I use for "percentages". I use these "percentages" to change the clip back to playback in its original speed AFTER I've changed the frame rate to 24fps for slow motion. You'd need to do this if you want to speed ramp your footage. If you are just looking to change your footage from 120 or 60fps to 24fps, you can do that by just right clicking on the video clip thumbnail in the viewer, selecting "clip attributes" and changing it to 24fps in the "video frame rate" drop down menu. Hope this helps! 48/24=2 • 2 x 100 = 200% 60/24=2.5 • 2.5 x 100 = 250% 96/24=4 • 4 x 100 = 400% 120/24=5 • 5 x 100 = 500% 240/24=10 • 10 x 100 = 1000% 300/24=12.5 • 12.5 x 100 = 1250%

thank you sir

[@jwphotoworks]

No problem, glad I could help!

Best one

[@jwphotoworks]

Thanks very much! Glad I could be of help. 😀

Why make it so complicated, why didn't you just drop it in and then slow it down where you wanted instead of doing reverse? Just wondering...

[@jwphotoworks]

Awesome question, and yes, you can do that, but there are more steps to the process to get the same end result. I was going to do a whole detailed response here, but I made a video showing the process you asked about and what it entails. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKjSqphridyfaM0 and if it suits your workflow, go for it! And thanks again for the question! 😃

[@emmaandshaunexplore]

Is this with the free version of Davinci?

[@jwphotoworks]

Yes, this is done using the free version of Resolve.

[@ok-pe6hy]

Okay but you can see that it is jerky for a 120fps, why ? Cant you leave it a 120fps them slowmo it to have it in 24fps and not directly put it in 24fps without slowmo?

[@Spidouz]

Your comment makes no sense to me, if you have 120 frames and you want them to read in super slow mo, then you will play 24 frames at the time, so a 1 second clip will now takes around 5s to play. There’s no jerky video from Resolve (surely not with the Studio version, never tried the free), also if you’re on a Apple Silicon Mac, you will get some acceleration to handle it so the video will be butter smooth (as long as your source is too). There’s no need to reduce a 120fps to 24fps, you simply just set how fast you want it to play it and then Resolve will play frames according to your speed selection. If you really want to use Slow Mo with Resolve, then you better get the Studio version to get the GPU acceleration. His problem you’re seeing here is due to his lack of power by not using Resolve Studio.

[@ok-pe6hy]

@@Spidouz thanks

[@jwphotoworks]

Thanks for the reply. I was going to reply to the original comment this morning, but you've pretty much summed up what I was going to say! Yes, I could get better (faster) real time editing and rendering results by taking advantage of the GPU acceleration that the Studio version gives, but for the most part, I create proxies and generate optimized media as part of my workflow while working on projects. Not AS fast/good as utilizing my GPU, but good enough for what I need while editing. The end result is what I'm after. As far as changing the 120fps to 24fps in the timeline, well, I've done a whole other video on that as an alternative way to achieve this result. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKjSqphridyfaM0

[@ok-pe6hy]

​@@jwphotoworksthanks for your answer, but wich one is the best technique between this video and the one you shared me ? Thanks for your reply by advanced

[@jwphotoworks]

The video in this post is the best option. The "optional" one that i posted a link to in the response I posted, is another way of doing it, but it has more steps to do and takes longer.
