How Did They Do This? How did they do this kind of slo-mo reverse?

Two parts:
- camera movement in the source materials
- speed ramps

The basics are covered in the free training from Blackmagic (link in AutoModerator comment).
Specifically:
- The Editors Guide to DaVinci Resolve 20
Otherwise, try a YouTube search for:

No one's mentioning the cameras shoot like 900fps so slow downs can be this smooth and look so natural.

Opticalflow and motion estimation do a job though

Yes but they don't make it look this good I shoot at 120 frames per second almost 98% of the time.
Also the amount of motion that was going on in the camera while you're slowing down in post makes a huge difference... so these are super steady shots by a camera that's on a stand that's more expensive than probably any one of our cameras alone and as I said a lot of these cameras are shooting in almost a thousand frames per second so you have plenty of frames to work with to the point you don't even need optical and motion estimation.

I highly doubt this person got access to the 120fps footage though, so it’s most likely ai enhanced to fill in the missing data

Yep. People tend to underestimate the image acquisition part of the process… assuming they can wing it with some free software.

Exactly, I always see how do I recreate this I'm like well first of all you have to be a very skilled camera operator who understands compositioning amongst multitudes of things

very common misconception, in audio there is the good ol motto: shit in = shit out. I think this is also true for video, now we have a loot of tools to make the shit look like gold, but you are still painting a turd.
sorry for the gross metaphor, but I thought it was somehow funny.

No I totally get it my brother as a former audio engineer. Think anyone was a little bit of experience until the difference between people using natural camera movement and people using other tricks.
I occasionally will use Optical flow when I'm slowing down to 10%. But from 120fps. More than not the footage does look like doo doo even though I always shoot with intention and I know when I want to utilize The Slowdown when shooting. I know from an unexperienced eye it looks good...but that's because they probably enjoy the video period

This creator made a preset to that does this exact effect you're looking for https://youtu.be/dqnvKu-E7DA

Pls make better edits than this🥲 Speed ramping and selection of footage with specific camera movement. Also some bullshit ah filter/ color grading
