Problems with Apple ProRes 422

[Tom Brooks] “To get slo-mo you need to use Compressor to conform the p50 to p25.”

An easier way to do do this is to take the 50fps QT movie, open it in Cinema Tools, hit conform and choose 25.0. This will payback the 50fps at 25fps and take a fraction of a second to complete. You can duplicate the original 50fps file first in case you are nervous about it, but if your forget to duplicate, you can always go back in to Cinema Tools and conform back to 50.0. This is a lossless process and simply rewrites the heard info so the footage plays back @ 25.

Compressor will be a transcode.

Hope all that makes sense.

Also, this is how I would setup Compressor:

If I shoot at 720/25p and then set the overcrank in the EX1 to 50fps, will that not give me slow motion footage in camera? I thought that if I put this into a 25fps timeline in FCP it would automatically be slow motion.

Just like I imagine that if I shot at 1fsp, I’d get a timelapse. I am wrong here?

Not sure how the Ex1 works, but if it has overcranking and allows 25pN similar to how Panasonic cameras wok, then yes as the frame rate will already be 25. But if you shoot 50 over 50 (as opposed to 50 over 25) then you have to conform manually as the frame rate will be 50.
