[QUOTE="nutsnbolts, post: 39013, member: 4256"] So I never really put much thought to this till I started watching tons of videos about 24, 30, 60, 120, 240, etc. frames per second and as we all know, the Spark is 1080p at 30fps. Now... I question how well I'm editing my videos and I am noticing that I think I have been inconsistent with how I import on a project timeline. I'm assuming that it's being imported at 30fps timeline in which case, in reality, true slow motion is something that you can't really do with the Spark. In other words, since it's 30fps option only, you can't do 60fps and cut it in half for the buttery smooth, cinematic look. Do people find this a limitation? Maybe that's a stupid question because yes it's probably a limitation but my point is, how are you achieving smooth slow motion that follow the proper timeline? I know if you have a mavic or any other drone where you have other options (4k, 1080p, 24, 30, 60, etc.) do people really say, I want this capture to be in slow motion so I'm going to change the setting to capture at 60fps and then when you're done, you switch back to 24p to capture other things and then back and forth back and forth? Is that what people really doing? Sorry I don't know how else to explain it but now it seems like launching my drone in the air and hitting record is not as simple as I thought it was. OF course, if you are trying to achieve cinematic style post processing. I don't want to complicate this as I'm literally starting out in general. Any one can share their thoughts about this?
