Advice for Slow Motion scenes

I've been trying to create slow motion scenes for the longest but I can't quite get it right.

Here's what i do. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Adjust camera settings in Canon 60D

60fps, 120 shutter speed

FCP X - Conform Speed.


Not sure what I'm doing wrong

… and your Project Settings in FCPX are?

if set to 'first clip properties' nothing will happen - 60p in a 60p sequence is conformed 1:1.

if you set the Project Properties to 30/25/24, a conform-speed should noticeable lower the playback .....

Shoot 60p.
Create an FCP X Project, custom setting, 24p. That will give you 40-some-odd percent slow motion. But then if you slow it down even more, it will be much more clear than if you put a 24p clip into a 24p timeline.
Use the Conform command as Karsten says.
Modify > Retime > Conform

To get best results, shoot on a tripod, don't pan or zoom, so that the background is as static as possible. That way your subject's movements will work better with Optical Flow and remain clear. What messes up Optical Flow is movement in the background of a shot.
