Reel Smart Motion Blur
There's a lot of talking on the internets at the moment about Twixtor, particularly this video.
But I want to draw your attention to another of their products Reel Smart Motion Blur.
RSMB applied to the footage at 30fps before the retiming fixed it all up beautifully. I've also discovered that it works very nicely on motion graphics created within FCP, infinitely better than the excreble 'Motion Blur' option in the Motion tab and much more convenient than 'sending' to Apple Motion or creating the graphics in Adobe After Effects.NB. You have to nest your graphics and apply the effect to the sequence rather than apply the effect to the graphic elements directly. Did I say it cost $89.00! and works inside FCP

I discovered this product when I was researching a retiming tool and playing around with twixtor and also Kronos from The Foundry.
I needed something that could produce an acceptable result in a PAL broadcast environment from gopro footage shot at 30fps, the added spice was that the gopro shoots with autoexposure and when the it light it's exposing for gets bright it starts to increase the shutter speed.
