Hi xr650lou
This is an interesting topic and I would also like to better understand how to use higher speed. My PDR13 projects are HD (1920x1080) 50 fps 16:9.
I have a GoPro Hero3+ Black. I'm on PAL so frame rates are 25,50,etc.
I shoot my GoPro at 1080p 50 fps excellent HD quality.
I can shoot 720p at 100fps (good HD quality), and WVGA at 240fps (poor quality).
I stopped using GoPro Studio as it converts the MP4 into much larger AVI files prior to Edit. I have found a quality loss in the conversion (any conversion) so I import the GoPro MP4 files into PD13 and Edit there.
I use higher fps for better slo-mo. Even though I cannot set PD13 projects higher than 50 fps, I have found that PD13 does not convert the clip frame rate in the timeline until you Produce the project so higher frame rates should give better slo-mo results.
I use PD13 Slo-Mo with frame interpolation and get better results than the normal SloMo which tends to be jumpy at slow speeds. I haven't tried 240fps.
I suggest you give it a try with your 240fps and check your SloMo results. If you don't need SloMo and shoot at 240fps it might be better to convert to 60fps (NTSC) using GP Studio or other software.
I'm also learning so please share your results.
