60fps to 25fps
I’ve filmed material with my VariCam in 720p@60fps and now I want it slowmotioned down to 720p@25fps.
I capture my material via my Blackmagic HD card, so I cant use Final Cut’s own DVCPRO framerate converter.
And I cant use Panasonics Frameconverter, since I dont want it in AVI, and some material is already edited, and I’m onlining it..So is there any script or software that extracts all the frames and resaves it in a 720p@25fps quicktime movie?
the way I do it now, is to open the batched movie in quicktime.
Extracts the movie as a picture sequence.
open up that sequence in quciktime in a 25fps timebase and saves it as a quicktime movie…
and man that sucks!!Please help..!

You can conform it to 25fps using cinema tools.
Open your clip up in cinema tools and select conform. Then choose 25fps. It will overwrite your old clip so you’ll want to do it on copies of your footage just incase you need to go back to 60P.

NO Short of making a SEQ of stills and then removing the frames one by one.
you should have checked what to do before starting.

Using the conform in Cinema Tools works to create slow motion like he’s looking for.
It takes the 60 frames in one second and spreads them out at a rate of 25 frames per second, so the final clip is 2 seconds and 10 frames long.

A conform is not the same as using the frame rate converter
as long as there are no redundant frames this may workgary adcock

Thanks Gary for pointing out that having true 60P footage (has no redundant frames) is required for the Cinema Tools conform to slow down footage and it is completely different from the Frame Rate Convertor.
We wouldn’t want people to get the wrong idea and try to turn 24P (60P with redundant frames) into slow motion using either of the Frame Rate Convertor or Cinema tools. Obviously that would be silliness.
