My question regards "slow motion",my son is an athlete and I want to be able to play back his films in slow motion to analyse his workouts/performance.I don't have much money to spend on expensive equipment but I would like to have slow motion like the NFL or NBA,I mean true slow motion that goes "fluidly" backwards and forward and not the frame by frame or 1/4 speed nonsense that some call slow motion.
I bought a DVR feature from Dish network a couple of days ago after a Tech of theirs told me that if I were to record an even,their slo-mo will be what I want,well,it is not so I'm back to square one.My camcorder too does not give me the slo-mo that I require,I imported the video file into my pc and searched the net for a slo-mo program to do it but cannot find anything.
So I guess I am looking for 2 basic things right now,
1]A software that will play back my video files with effective slo-mo
2]A way to record the video files in the first place that will give what I need.I was looking at a feature the other day on TV that showed how Steve Sabol,the guy who does the NFL films records the films and I came across something very interesting,he said that they film the game with one camera at regular speed and use another camera and film in slow motion,this suggests to me that when we see "highlights" on TV it might be coming from the slow motion reel so I was wondering if my Canon Videocam can record at slo-mo speed too?
Would appreciate any help/advice/links that will help with the 2 issues above please,thanks.
