Hi, I use PS12, this was fine previously because the video camera I used filmed at 30FPS only, (so I set the timeline frame rate to 30FPS).

But I got a new GoPro for Xmas and it films at up to 240FPS. So to make nice super-slowmos I would like to set the timeline frame rate to 240, or even 120 but it appears I can only set it to a max of 60 FPS? Meaning I can only slow down my movies to 50% (maintaining complete smoothness at 30FPS end result). But really I should be able to slow down my videos (120FPS to 25%) and (240FPS to 12.5%) whilst keeping smooth 30FPS end result. But I can't do this if the timeline will only go to 60FPS. Can anyone tell me if I can get the timeline frame rate up higher than 60FPS?

Highlight the clip and go to Power Tools. Set the video speed there.

I know how to do that, but I want to set the timeline frame rate at more than 60FPS, otherwise I cant (smoothly) slow down my 120FPS videos to 25%. Because If I set timeline frame rate to 60FPS (The current maximum i can see in settings) then I can only reduce videos to 50% (whilst mainting to optimum 30FPS)

Lack of response hints that it can't be done, except perhaps by producing the first slowdown, then importing it to the timeline for a second pass??
