You're reading way too much into a quick response. You are correct, there is no 'invalid' use for special effects, that is simply a verbal flourish on my part. Thanks for the clarification. :) On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 4:54 AM, phartz...@gmail.com phartz...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, May 26, 2009

We're dying to know why a lay person would need this capability? Anyone doing any kind of video editing already has programs that do this (NLE's). On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 5:19 PM, Stephen Brownfield steveei...@verizon.net wrote: Steve,         Thanks.  I think that is what she is looking for.

A person does not have to be a professional to find a valid use for Slow-motion! For the record my wife is a competitive athlete (her hobby). She likes to study videos to see not only what she is doing right or wrong, but also how those who are better than her do it. We may be talking about

Ah! Of course, the biggest problem with this use would be the slow frame rates the event was likely shot at (or rendered to later). Although some HD can go up to 60fps, many common web video formats drop that to only 15fps, which should leave little but a blur on faster athletics, no matter how
