how to use cinema tools to conform individual clips?

hi all
i need to conform a bunch of quicktimes that are various framerates to 29.97 so that i don't have to render in my fcp timeline. from reading around here, i think i should do that in cinema tools, but i can't for the life of me figure out how to do that within the program?
can anyone give me a basic workflow?
thanks!

Open Cinema Tools. Cancel any and all requests to create or open a database.

FILE>OPEN...select the clip. Then click on the CONFORM button.

Done.

thanks for the reply. for some reason that works with some clips, and not others. is the animation codec not supported?
i am going to poke around and see if i can figure this out, but thanks for the info!

No, I conform my Tutorials this way, and they are in the Animation codec.

What frame rate are they? If they are like 18fps or 12fps, they might not conform. I think they have to be close to the frame rate you are trying to conform to.

But that is just a guess.

thanka Gin for getting back to me. yeah, it must be that - the clips are all like 12 or 15 fps.
i guess i'll use compressor?
thanks!
