I heard there's some way to shoot either 60i or 50i with the Panasonic HVX200 and in post (either Adobe After Effects or Final Cut Pro) separate the odd and even fields and get slow motion (possibly with some codec or plugin).

Does anyone know about this?

Sorry i dont know about that but why do you have to do it this way. What is wrong with shooting it normally and slowing it down in post.

Are you trying to do something specific and therefore cant use this method?

I've never actually used the HVX to date, but I believe that it is capable of shooting up to 60fps progressive in-camera.

This is definitely the way to go for slow-motion if you ever can. As a general rule, if you have to choose between doing something in post and doing it in-camera, do it in-camera.

Things slowed down in post (especially if you're using avid, and especially if you're slowing it down more than 10% or 20%) look pretty choppy.

I'd definately recommend shooting in 60i if you're going to be slowing it down, but I don't know about the HVX200.

Oh ok but the shots i've always done dont look bad when i've slowed them down but then again that was compared to my old old old camera which looked really bad when shooting in 60i.

I expect these days 60i looks much better , i have never had to shoot slow mo with any of my new cameras so i dont know. Yes i would do what agingeri and Daved recoomend.
