OK! here are a couple of tips for you.
you need 3 nodes, filein - setalpha - fileout
in filein set de-interlacing to even
under the timing tab set retime to speed,
use the slider to adjust the speed.
leave other settings as is until you
get the speed right (see below).
You may not need the setalpha node, if you do
set alpha to 0. My file had random lines in alpha
after quicktime conversion.
The file out node sets the file format and codec. I used
Quicktime and apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC.
Performance: you have to render a flipbook to play
at full speed, even with the basic setting.
When you are ready for the best result, set retimeMode
in the filein parameters to adaptive. Run a new flipbook
it will take a lot longer, but will look better.
To get a file you need to render the fileout node, there
is a maxthread field. try higher numbers for better speed.
Finally, the file. If you set in and out points and send to
Shake, Shake can see the whole clip. and when you change
the speed all the frames get renumbered. Make a subclip
and export it to quicktime.
And after all that, it still won't look as good as shooting
high speed.
good luck!
