I have seen many great slo-mo clips using the plugin "Twixtor". Is this available for PD9?

No, but PD9 has more than 1 way to make video slower. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
Tape capture using 6 VCR, TBC-1000, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.

Well, do share. Went to your link and did not see any tutorial on slo-mo. Would like to know of any trick in PD9, other than the obvious speed change option, that I may try.
Thanks...

go to power tools and video speed this will allow you to set the length you want the clip to play for - (I ahve used it in reverse - took a 10 minute walk around a cruise ship reduced to 1 minute) using it to slow the clip is the sme process

Thanks Chris, I was aware of that one. That would be the obvious and quickest selection. Barry suggests that PD9 has more than one way to slow video down. I guess you have to know the secret hand shake to get that information. O well......

Within the Power tools are two methods, Video speed, and Slow motion. Slow motion is supposed to use frame interpolation technology but many have shown questionable results. Maybe frame duplication is a better description for what many of us have seen.
