EX1 footage 25@24 or 25P conform to 24P
Hey everybody,
we have a rather urgent problem; we have 25p footage from an EX1 and have to conform it to 24p(FCP 6.0.4. /10.5.6./QT 7.6.) The clips have been copied straight to the drive (without SxS driver) using the Sony reader.
Than we imported with XDCAM Transfer (2.1. and 2.5.)In theory it sounds very easy,
but Cinematools opens a clip but the conform button is greyed out!
Using batch conform there is a conform log: Skipped — The movie has temporal compressionAlso in FCP 25@24 doesn’t work, Error: Unable to find clips with 25 f/s to process
Even though XDCAM transfer, QT Player, Cinematools and FCP show 25f/s !For any advice I´ll be ….. extremly thankfull.
Thanks ahead.

I think you need to convert them into a format like Apple ProRes or DVCProHD. Then CinemaTools will be able to conform.
CinemaTools cannot conform clips 24 to 25 or vice versa if…
1. Clips are not in an I frame format
2. Clips are locked
3. Clips are not true 24 but 23.98 or something like that.FCP Editor, Mumbai, India.

Hey Neil,
yep, just got informed about that trough a german college
and rendering it into ProRes HQ.Sometimes the “evidend” can be well hidden behind a cloud …
As far as I learned is FCS abreviating 23,976 to 23,98 but actually using it.
Thanks lot anyway!

Hi george,
As Neil points you can not conform EX-1 footage neither HDV. I guess is because the MPEG-2 structure of those formats. You need to transcode first.
