Most good slow motion is from either special video cameras
or film. To get good slow motion, you need to shoot at a
much higher frame rate then slow it down to normal. Some
video editors can do it to some degree or another. I used to
have links for dynapel.com and motionperfect.com, but both
seem to have either vanished or no longer have that product.
They created the slow motion effect by inserting interpolated
frames in between your existing ones ( 1:1 would give a 50%
slowdown). Hopefully others here will be able to give more
detail on which software supports what you want to do.
The reverse, "time lapse" is much easier -- you just yank out
some number of frames between the ones you keep to
"compress" the timeline. Vegas Video may have that ability,
I have not played with it. Googling around should turn up
some information also.
