<<If you figure out how to get rid of the shakey,faded,ugly part let me know.>> Actually when I have gotten SlowMo and Reverse to work, they have looked wonderful. Probably depends on the nature of the original clip. As I think about it, with /2-SloMo you are visually dropping from the equivalent of 60 fields/sec to 30 fields/sec (15 frames/sec) since there is no interpolation of the doubled fields. It's going to get jerkier the faster the motion in the image. I'd guess that few non-linear editors interpolate new frames when creating SloMo. I'd like to know what other people have found in that area. Seems like that the simplest way to deal with the jerkiness (Chuck-you out there?) is to do a pseudo interpolation by combining two fields into one. Frame by frame that would give every other frame a double-image/blurred look, but on playback it would smooth out the jerk by providing a transitional image. I recall something like this is used in TV cartoons. I haven't noticed the clips looking faded, but I'll pay atention more closely next time. Tonight I'll try the macro out again per your comments. I may have just missed that combination somehow during my own bazillion attempts. thanks, dean
