Hero3 Slomo help

[Clum]

Hi people of OCUK, it's been a while

I'm looking for some help with my gopro and editing some footage, as I'm fairly new to all this. I've got no trouble with the basic stuff and am quite comfortable with creating slomo's ect, but what I'm struggling with is achieving a specific effect.

I want to create that effect where a video changes from regular speed, into slomo, then back to regular speed again all in one sequence. What is the best way to achieve this? Is it as simple as creating three seperate clips (two regular speed and one slowed down) then sequencing them together? Hopefully you know the effect I'm talking about....it's the one that's in just about every gopro video on youtube!

I'm using FCPX and cineform. All my footage is in 1080p 60fps.

Cheers

You just need to use the Retiming tools built into FCPX. Should be in a good position with footage shot at 60fps for some reasonable slowmo too.

Have a look at this tutorial:

That is awesome mate, thank you. Was really struggling to find a tutorial without knowing a proper name of the effect/tool I was looking for.
