Cinema Tools batch conform problem

Good afternoon, Happy Editors.

I have a bunch of B roll shots at 30fps. I want them to play in my 23.98 timeline without frame skipping - so they will play smoothly, but with slight slow motion.

So I go into Cinema Tools, File > Batch conform > choose one shot within my folder of original material and hit OPEN.

Cinema Tools then operates for about a second. And when I go to my original folder I find that it has placed all my files in a folder called "skipped" and there is zero in the "conformed" folder.

Perhaps I am setting up my "Database" or whatever it is, wrongly. And - yes - I have read the appropriate section of the manual and it seems simple.

Can anyone please tell a poor idiot what he is doing wrong?

Thanks,

Best

Harry.

Hi Harry.

yes, it is simple, or should be.
even though i think CT always creates a "skipped" folder, i have never had clips wind up in there. they always conform.
i wonder what it is about your clips that is not letting them be conformed?

might it be a permissions issue?
or maybe the media is not all I-frame media, like H264 clips?
they would cause problems for conforming.

Ha! You're right. Media is H.264. So I guess I'll have to ProRezzify it and then try again.

Thanks very much.

Best,

Harry.

You can conform the clips as you proresify the clips in Compressor.
