GoPro cam and slo-mo with FCP X?
I have been using FCP for a very long time and have always used cinema tools to conform 720p60 to 29.97 for smooth slo-mo from my GoPro cam well, I’m wondering how you’d do the same thing if you are using only FCP X? My suite I use for my pro work has FCS 3 but I’m trying to see how well X will fit into my workflow (have it on a brand new MBP) for on-site stuff and beyond but I really want the same ease and effect as using Cinema Tools. Thanks!

Hi Tony
Have a look at Digital Rebellion’s Pro Media Tools .. QT Edit includes the ability to conform frame rates: https://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/

That’s cool…I’ll check it out. Wondering, can you just install cinema tools from my FCP suite, by itself, on my new machine anduse it as I always have?

Absolutely, though bear in mind that, strictly speaking, your FCP 7 license covers only one simultaneous primary (desktop) and secondary (laptop) install … as long as you are within that limitation you’re good (not that Apple have left anyone a chance anymore of pursuing a legal alternative for multiple CT installs).

Built in to FCPX:
Speed menu has Conform Speed. This would maintain the frames and flag for a speed change.
Inspector Video has Rate Conform with options with Floor, Nearest Neighbor, Frame Blending, Optical Flow. These would maintain speed and modify frames.

Excellent. Thanks for the pointer Craig, just tested and it works a treat.

Really nice that, unlike Cinema Tools, it’ll work with GOP codecs too. It’s one of those “tantalizing” improvements that really makes one wish Apple would get some of the other requested improvements out the door.

non-destructive also. you can apply it to the clip in the timeline and leave the one in the event library untouched.
also works with 720p50 material from XDCamHD422 footage. -
Nice, just tried that too, thanks for that one
