Advice on 60fps editing

just tossing on 50% speed in fcp on 60p footage will make it look super horrible. what you should do if you already have 24p footage, is use cinema tools to conform all your 60p footage to 24p so that you are always editing with the proper sequence settings. Your 60p footage will be really smooth when it plays back in 24p and if you want it to be full speed just change the speed up to 250% and it will play back in normal speed again.

if you are using a dslr/go pro or pretty much anything like it you should follow the work flow in this video. its what i am assuming 90% of people who film on here do if they use fcp.

Thanks I realize that's a good way to go.  I just don't want to really slow down that many shots so I'd hate to conform all of it and then speed it up due to how long it would take to render.  Also ensuing cuts would take longer to render also.  If that's the best way then I'll do it but I'm just wondering what people's workflows are like for this type of stuff.

if you have everything as ProRes422 then you wont have to render when you make changes in your timeline ever really. only with certain effects. Its probably the fastest and most convenient way to edit. ive been using this system for quite a while now and I like it.

This first part is not true, I've done a ton of slowing down 60p in a 60p timeline it works just fine.

in Premier or fcp?

I was gonna say it looked pretty good when I did that.  Just was curious if I was losing any quality that way?

No just don't drop below 40%

I just exported a shot of 60fps in a 60p timeline and the shot definitely lost some quality. should I just conform it to 24p?
