My 7D does 1280x720 at 50/60 fps (PAL/NTSC), among other frame rates/sizes. I've seen a bunch of tutorials on using that footage in a 23.98 timeline to make some awesome slow-mo footage, very dramatic. I can't, for the life of me, get my results to look like those that are doing the tutorials. Anyone have any tips beyond a standard Googling of the topic? And for that matter, when you're playing back a video clip on your camera in slow motion, it looks freaking amazing (try it!). However, I have yet to see a way to interpret/edit/import that 60fps footage with any of the Canon tools...so, how does that camera playback feature do it so damn smooth??
edit: let me clarify that last bit...no way to take that 60fps clip and make it import to my PC in 23.98fps with the native Canon tools. Obviously, the playback feature has some way of doing it...

1. What are you using for video editing?
2. Try saving the (60fps) video at a straight 30fps -- that other speed looks suspicious to me ... could maybe be 29.98 (NTSC more exactly) but it shouldn't be 23 ... |

Adobe Premiere CS3. Seems like 90% of video editors are using a Mac and FinalCut Pro. :-(
23.98 is the 24fps that they talk about as the "film-look". In fact, one of the options on the 7D is 1920x1080 24fps, which is actually 23.976. |

I was going to find a video i watched ages ago, but i realized it was on sony vegas.
Plus you will be displeased with the results, it may be slow but because the camera actually doesnt record them moments it just looks odd, and still blurred, heres what i mean.

I use an older version of Premiere -- it is a fine piece of editing software.
I am suspicious that you may be getting a problem because of the video equivalent of "resampling jaggies" because the number of FPS in the original and the target are not a whole-number ratio ... I don't think the software just adjusts the play-length of each frame -- it may also drop some frames, but I could be wrong about that.
I wouldn't bother trying for the "film look" unless you plan to transfer the frames to film. I think research on the recovery-rate of human optical cells was a little shaky when the 24fps rate was established for film. 30fps video should look smoother.
While you're experimenting, I also think you should try capturing an exported frame from your video and see if it contains valid EXIF information, in case you want to use a frame as a challenge entry. :-)
PS: I used Premiere 5.0 (pre-CS version) to make this time-lapse video from still frames.

Try Twixtor I have a sample up on yutube where I slowed down a kite boarder using twixtor.
Sample 1
