proper way to handle 60p footage?

Hey folks,

I've got an HVX200, and I'm shooting some 60p to create slow-mo footage.

Question: what's the most effective way to handle that footage in Vegas if your goal is to create super smooth slow-mo for web delivery? Since the footage is progressive, deinterlacing settings are a moot point. But what else should one do with the 60p footage? Motion blur? 32-bit rendering? And what frame rate should one render out to for web use? 24? 30? 60?

I'd have thought shoot at 1/120s to get 180deg shutter angle, and slow it down to 24p in a 24p timeline. That will mix well with 24p footage shot at 1/48s and played back at normal speed.

If you slow it down beyond this, you might need to some MB if it starts to get juddery.

you need to slow it down by using the speed envelope. if you render it to 24 fps, vegas will resample and reimage down to 24fps and you won't get slo-mo
