Mar 25, 2015 5:13 PM in response to Crystobalby Meg The Dog,What is the codec of your clip?
I believe Cinema Tools won't work with mpeg formats, like h.264 etc - though not 100% sure.
It's been a while since used,

Mar 26, 2015 8:50 AM in response to Crystobalby Meg The Dog,Well, since FCP-7 does not work correctly or reliably with H.264 files, use Compressor to convert your source material to an edit friendly codec such as ProRes.
Once that is done, you can use Cinema Tools if you want to, and the whole experience in FCP will be better.

Mar 26, 2015 3:57 PM in response to Crystobalby hyphen,Slightly expanding Meg's reply, CT will not conform any clip that uses inter frame compression: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_frame

Mar 26, 2015 5:00 PM in response to hyphenby Shane Ross,Compressor will convert the frame rate...but not make is slow motion. If you want it to be smooth slow motion, you need to first convert to ProRes, then use Cinema Tools to CONFORM. Duplicate the clip if you want it to run normal speed as well as slow motion, as the conform modifies the original clip.

Oct 22, 2015 8:13 AM in response to Shane Rossby kim-me,Hi Shane and others,
Shane I saw your post on creativecow on how to use cinema tools to turn your 60fps files into slowmotion clips, and watched your tutoriol, very helpful!
Now, I am using clips out of a sony A7s camera, 50fps material. I've converted them to Prores 422 HQ files and am now trying to make a 25fps clip out of one of them with cinema tools using your tutorial. Thing is, the button 'conform' is not clickable.. So in my case, it's not the codec that's bugging.
Any idea what may cause this?
Maybe some settings I did't enter correctly? When I opened CT it asked me for all kinds of settings (in your tutorial you already had them set so I couldn't check ;-)
Thanks so much in advance!
Kim
