Replying to Alternative to cinema tools? (lion crashes)

Im sure media and arts is already aware that lion (10.7+) crashes cinema tools and other programs that worked smoothly with snow leopard. I bought a refurbished MBP from apple and of course it came with lion installed (FML..)

I have final cut and have used cinema tools in the past to conform 60p footage into 24 or 30p to achieve a smooth slow mo effect. Now I can't do this because lion crashes cinema tools whenever I try opening it.

Does anyone have a secret to making cinema tools not crash in lion? or is there another alternative to cinema tools without having to download premier or any other expensive program?
