Attached are both the original clip, 2 second long, and 5 times slower clip of the original.

for some reason the slow motion is not smooth. is there a way to make it smooth?

    Frame Blend should indeed work.

    If you have the time, you can also try bringing the footage into After Effects at normal speed and applying the Timewarp effect. It does an incredible job at creating frames that didn't exist, and you can get really slow-mo with it. It doesn't always work perfectly, so you will get artifacts sometimes. Keep in mind that this effect is pretty slow, as it does some very complex calculations to create new frames, so you'll need to be able to afford the extra encoding time before trying this one out.

    In my experience, PP just isn't capable of decent slow motion.  You will need After Effects, or a plug-in like Twixtor maybe.
