Slow motion shots

Hey, I'm new to the gopro thing and editing in general but I have a pretty good idea of what I want to achieve. I've been messing around with Imovie a bit and found it easy to use, but when I went to slow down a shot that was filmed at 920-48fps it was pretty jumpy. Will this be solved by shooting everything at 720p-60fps? Or do I need to use better editing software like Final Cut Pro?

If I do go to FCP is it easy to use? I don't want to pay for software that's a pain in the arse to use.

I'm no expert but the footage I shot on my gopro setting 3 which is 720p @ 60fps came out pretty smooth. If you have a slower or older computer quite often it can look pretty jumpy on your preview till its all rendered. I would def recommend the 60 fps if wanting slomo but assuming you don't have any specialist editing needs you should be ok with fairly simple editing software. This was my first attempt at editing my gopro footage into slomo. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=GB#/watch?v=EMfR3ChW3o8
