Here’s the latest video from Adobe Evangelist Jason Levine, which takes a look at different methods of slow motion from DSLR video in Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5.
In short, the differences between the various ‘flavours’ are quite dramatic in some spots. The key here is that though there aren’t any extreme motion elements, the results are even more telling with the subtle movements. The premise was to use the same ‘speed’ in each clip, which was effectively playing back at 30% speed (ie, about 1/3 real-time). Minimal grading was done on the clips (first clip is Magic Bullet, others are 32-bit Fast Color in Premiere), and the waterfall shots are straight from the lens…no grading!
