    Well, ok. I was going to tell you to try with and without as that will do the process automatically when logging and transferring. Since you aren’t sure, I’ll tell you what you can do now.

    First, make a new project then drag all of the clips that you want to make slow motion into the new project. Make sure the clips are in the root level of the browser and don’t put them in bins. Then select one of the clips and go to Tools > DVCPro HD Frame Rate Converter. Check all the options and then choose 25 as a frame rate. name it (I usually keep the same name then add ‘_conform’ i.e. clip name_conform) and save. The clip will then import into that new project. Once you have done that to all of them, then drag those new _conform clips to your original project.

    Make sense?

    As far as the bug on your machine, do you have the P2 drivers from Panasonic installed?

    I will try later…gotta go.
    About the P2 Driver..yes, I have it installed, if you mean the one, which you need, when you want to read the P2 cards in the PCI slot of my PowerBook.
    There was a problem when I imported the Folders of the P2 footage into the log & Transfer window – they just weren’t recongnized…nothing visible…not even an error message, I read about this on the creative cow site, that there’s a certain bug, which let’s FCP not recognize the files…that you have to clean reinstall system & FCP. Because I did not wanna do that, I logged it in a friend’s place.

    Yes, Jeremy, that is true but it also goes without saying that “Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a night. But set him on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.”

    ;-P

    Sorry…I couldn’t pass that one up, man.

    Best regards,

    Very nice proverb, specially the one about perfection – I like it!

    How about:

    A dremaer is one who can find his way only by the moonlight,
    and his punishment is,
    that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world!

    DVCPro HD is an anamorphic or ‘thin raster’ HD format. That is the size it is recorded. When you play out to tape via firewire or HDSDI, the picture gets stretched horizontally to match SMPTE spec. If you need a full raster file, then you export out of FCP and use Compressor to make a full raster file to suit your needs.
