Hey guys, just trying to use some 50p footage I shot expecting to get the real slow motion result but FCP is reading it as if it was normal speed, even thought I shot it at 50p. I am used to work with th Panasonic HVX200 and the slo mo 50p process has no steps and works just dragging the clip into the timeline, the Sony apparently doesnt work like that. I would really appreciate if someone could share this info.

Thanks Craig, although I still managed to use this shots I did with 50p setting (exported as individual frames - TIFF seq and then re encoded to ProRes422) I believe that the way you telling me is the correct. Think the mistake happens when I assumed that the Sony would work in a similar way of the Panasonic HVX200.

I think you can also change the Time Base in Cinema Tools although I've never needed to do that.
Compressor and Motion's Optical Flow technology might work too. Of course you might just be able to do it in Final Cut Pro but that might look the worst.
Panasonic P2 cameras also have p50 vs 25/50 mode too although I don't know offhand how that's set. Both cameras can shoot 50p as normal speed as it's a common setting.
