Can FCPx Interpret Footage?

CinemaToolsX.

Oops doesn’t exist. You can use compressor to slow down your footage.

Yes, it will take footage shot in a different frame rate (say 60p) and if you drop it onto the 30p project, it will conform it. There is a menu option under the retime menu to do so as well I believe. I’m doing some tests and while some of the frame rate stuff I’m seeing is wonky, the scaling seems to be very good.

Gotcha….but as of right now, there looks like no way to interpret a single clip without changing a timeline?

It doesn’t work that way in FCP.

You want to conform your clip from 60 to 30 for slomo, right?

FCPX does do it without cinema tools. “Conform Speed” will do it. I just did it with 60d 60fps footage and it worked great.

Awesome thank you! This was exactly the answer I was hoping to see.

Thanks.
