slow motion isn't working.

I got a Nikon Z7 camera and I've taken some video at 120fps, and some other with their slow motion setting which is supposed to be 5 times slower than normal.  But when I include in videos with 30fps settings, these clips play at normal, not-slowed speed.

    Correct answer SAFEHARBOR11

    Premiere automatically plays video clips at normal speed compensated to match the Sequence Setting frame rate. For instance, I drop 60p clips in a 30p sequence and they play normal, not slow, that is default behavior.

    You can either change the Speed/Duration on clip in timeline, or from Project Bin use Modify > Interpret to tell it what frame rate to assume, like 30fps.

    For the 120fps clips in 30fps timeline, you would set speed to 25% to use all frames from original clip.

    Thanks

    I have used the speed/duration on normal speed clips before, but didn't think I would have to on integrally slowed ones.  Using the other, modify method, does that change all in a sequence or just the desired clips?  I have mixed 30fps and 120fps in videos, and I'm not sure which is which.  Is there info somewhere that shows their recording speed?  thanks.

    I found the modify and uncovered the frame rates, thanks.
