What you are asking for doesnt exist except in a very terrible form. Shoot higher frame rates if you want slower motion.

A plugin called twixtor, a lot of gopro guys use it. It is hard to perfect though.

Haha he said free bro, not a $400 plugin. Also there is a program I saw somewhere called JES Deinterlacer that I think was free that was supposed to put out smoother slow motion than editing software. I know it is for Mac but Im not sure about PC

^as if everyone who uses it doesn't torrent it
but ae's pixel motion thing (frame blending > pixel motion) works pretty well. But as heath said obviously you won't do too well shooting 30fps and trying to get 4x slow motion

When I film slow mo I usually just have the skiers move really slowly. It actually looks way more realistic. My friend is the best at this. His name is Mo so we call him "slow mo." I suggest hiring somebody like this to enhance you're next film.

The best software for slow mo is called DVD Studio Pro though.

twixtor is pretty much the best thing you can get for that. not the easiest thing to learn, but in my expierience by far the best. there are tutorails on youtube for both obtaining it "cheaply" (free but probably not completly legal), and for how to use it. depends what software you are using though. twixtor is not compatible with everything
