Dear John, your comments interested me…”This is what I love about the Mac… you can boot multiple versions OS X from multiple partitions/drives. I usually run Yosemite on my Mac Pro but I also have a Snow Leopard drive for those times when I need to use software that’s not supported by Yosemite…

I am running mavericks and plan to go to yosemite and I have some software that ran well on snow leopard. Well I was told that I cant do that any more and I cant partition my drive either – as I used to. My machine is MBP Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013…however it seems to me, by your statement above, that this can be done. Would it be possible to explain the process please?

Thanks in advance, Shaun

Hi Shane, I realise this is an old post of yours. However, could you help please. Your comment…”This is NOT the way to do it. You use CONFORM to make 60fps into smooth slow motion, not to convert the frame rate of footage that you need to play in realtime…1 second remaining 1 second.”

Well your statement… ‘1 sec remaining 1 sec’, interests me. I am using Compressor and for some reason when I change the frame rate and leave duration to 100% the length of the clips change – only by 1 frame or a few milliseconds, but there is still a change – the test footage is:

Clip 1: 59.94fps at 3s 854ms long – 231 frames
Clip 2: 29.97fps at 3s 854ms long – 116 frames

In Compressor I Change the fps to 25 and duration to 100%, the result is:

Clip 1: 25fps at 3s 840ms long – 96 frames
Clip 2: 25fps at 3s 880ms long – 97 frames

I realise it is only one frame and the milliseconds have changed (however, should I really bother about it? Is it a problem – I’m considering what might happen with a longer Clip, etc.).

Any feedback would be gratefully received,

Shaun
