    Slow motion in FCP

    Posted by Olaf Steel on March 30, 2011 at 5:29 am

    Hi,

    I was given some help with this before on another post, but I’m still having a few problems I’m hoping someone can help me with.

    I’m working on a 24p project, but have some footage that I shot 60p that I want to use in slow motion in the project.
    Using Cinema Tools, I conformed the 60p footage to 24p, and then brought it into FCP. When I watch it in the preview window, I can see it playing in slow motion perfectly, but when I place it on the timeline, it plays back at normal speed. Why is this? What do I need to do to get it to play back in slow motion?

    Thanks in advance for helping me out.

    Olaf

    Sorry, should have said that…

    My timeline settings are:

    1920×1080 24p Apple ProRes (proxy)

    Guess that’s all the info you need… My slow motion footage was shot at 60p.

    Thanks for your help.

    Olaf
