over-cranked ProRes422
Used to be able to take 59.94 DVCProHD footage on a 29.97 FCP timeline and do a 50% speed conversion in FCP to stretch out frames over timeline to get a true 50% slowmo.
Captured ProRess 422 via Kona3 directly this time @59.94. Checked footage – all 59.94 frames exists. Dropping that into a 29.97 ProRes timeline in FCP and doing a 50% slowmo gives you fade-interpolated slowmo vs seeing the actual 59.94 frames at 29.97. It’s like a conversion happens the moment the clip is droppen on the timeline. Sigh…
I guess doing a separate conform to turn 59.94 into 29.97 is the only way if you’re going ProRess from the start? Any other short workaround anyone is aware of?
THnx.

Hi Francois,
If you can just conform, don’t hesitate to do it. Is the best system: Fast and no rendering needed.
What better workaround?

What Raf says, and did you turn off frame blending?

Just conform? THis is not DVCProHD that I can use the conform tool with. Is there anything like that for ProRes that I’m not aware off? (Opened the Logging info and tried to hard conform it by changing framerate but that’s locked.)

Frame blending is not the problem here. The problem is that the extra frame is not available when 59.94 footage is stretched at 50% on a 29.97 timeline. Turning off frame blending gives you 2 duped frames as if you’re 50% slowmo on 29.97 footage on 29.97 timeline.

Hi Francois,
Use CinemaTools and make a proper Conforming.
No problem with Proress.

“uh yeah – that what you told it to do, by just dropping it in the timeline.
why not open Cinema Tools and conform the clip to 29.97 first?

Telling FCP to do this with DVCProHD does not have the same effect. 59.94 frames are preserved. Just difficult to believe that FCP treats DVCProHD with flexibility in this area beyond ProRes.
Nothing bad about conforming. Except it’s an extra step. Have experienced a streamline by frame preservation of previous workflow.
