A quick tutorial on converting your 60p files from the Canon 7D to 24p slow motion. This is referred to as "overcranking". The method is very simple: slowing the footage down to 40% of its original speed. This creates a TRUE slowdown with no frame blending, motion estimation, or "creation" of frames.

UPDATE: Re-uploaded better quality video.
UPDATE AGAIN: Added 30p to 24p conversion method below (otherwise referred to as the 'dreamy' slo-mo effect). Also added some example links.

To calculate the speed at which your footage should be at, just divide the OUTPUT frame rate by the ORIGINAL FOOTAGE frame rate. For example:
OUTPUT frame rate / ORIGINAL FOOTAGE = percentage of slowdown. In this tutorial example,
23.976
divided by
59.94
equals
0.40
The quotient (0.40) is your percentage (40%).

NTSC Scenarios:
Project: 24p (23.976 fps)
Unedited footage: 60p (59.94 fps)
Desired output: 24p overcranked (slowmo)
Method: The method in the tutorial explains this scenario. (23.976 timeline, drop 60p footage in, set speed to 40%, export as 23.976 [24p])
