100% proper way to take 720p 60fps intended for 1080p24 and slow it down/convert?

Hi gang, so far I have found at least foour methods to do this, not to mention many more that are variations on those methods. But I am not getting smooth playback. Clearly I am not doing this right.

Some say use Premiere Pro. Some say After Effects.

What is the correct way to get that amazing smooth slow motion effect? I have a variety of clips shot with a Canon 7D in 720p 60fps. I want them playing back at 24fps slow motion and obviously upconverted to 1080p to match the 1080p 24 footage.

There is certainly a tutoiral somewhere on Adobe's website (or elsewhere) and I would love to see it.

Thanks in advance. You guys have always been able to point me in the right direction.

EDIT: I have discovered this...

But I cannot figure out how to save it as. What type/format? Should I make it an AVI so it is not recompressed? or keep it as H.264 since that is what DSLR footage is? I cannot find any of these answers anywhere.

When I try to do this and render as an AVI and it finishes, where is my file? I tell it to go into a folder, but it isn't there. God, I am frustrated. Once again I don't get why there are not some basic instructions for beginners out there on this stuff. I've spent al lday on this and gotten nowhere.

The larger issue is the frame size here.  A simple Interpret Footage command on the 60 fps media changed to 24 fps will give the slo-mo.  But you still have a smaller frame than 1920 x 1080 to deal with.  Upscaling is not the best way to go.  You may want to consider editing in a 720p/24 sequence, and downscaling the 1080 stuff.

I have to remain at 1080p 24fps. I have seen countless shorts shot with DSLR that have 720p 60fps footage converted/slowed down to 24 and integrated. Looked just fine.

Also, when I do interpert, the results is footage that doesn't look perfectly smooth like I am seing from examples converted with After Effects.

The problem for me is I am a complete beginner. So I can read and watch videos all day or all week long and if I cannot come across what it is I am looking for, I'm going to remain stuck. It doesn't help that I read so much conflicting information.

As I type this After Effects is opened, my footage is rendered to 24 fps and I cannot figure out how to save it as a file I can use. I'm just stuck and I hate feeling stupid.

Use Premiere Pro to do it

Import your 60fps clips into Premiere

then right click on the clip

Choose modify

then choose Interpret Footage...

then type the frame rate you want in the dialog box titled "Assume the frame rate is"

drag the clip to the timeline and you will playback in slow motion

I would reccomend rendering the clip so the playback is smooth, but otherwise everthing should work out fine

Do i have to do this for every clip? i thought premiere would have a way to do it faster....since FCP7 was conforming on cinema tools one by one , is there a way to do it as a batch?
