A few weeks ago, as we’re working on a new movie for one of our clients we needed to slow down some footage to give us some more time to build up graphics and bring out the message to the viewer, since the whole project has been done in FCP, I didn’t cared much about it since I was only responsible for the graphical part of it. At halfway of the production as I was reviewing what my colleagues did, I noticed that the slow motioned footag was really crappy meaning, frames were stuggering and you could see the interlaced lines which really scared me out. After having a talk with our FCP editor, he told me that this was normal, FCP can’t interpolate the frames inbetween to create a fluid motion. I’ve asked him to send me the footage as a raw format (unedited) so that I can have a try slowing them down either with AE or Premiere.
Well there I was importing the footage into Premiere, slowing them down, rendered it, and look at it, I have a nice fluid motion, no stuggering no nothing, sent them over to the FCP editor and his jaws felt on the keyboard.. 
How did you do it? was he’s question.
Well, imported the footage, slowed it down to what you wished, exported it again as a mov file and there you go
From that moment on, FCP lost once more a few points, how can a highly awarded software bust with such small tasks? Once again I walked out of the editing labs with a smile in my face.

This is just an egotistical post and doesn’t help in any way whatsoever, are you actually saying FCP isn’t up to your standards because someone couldn’t show you how it was better than Premier at slow motion clips? Dumbass, both of you.
