  Have you tried capturing your 60 fps footage AT 60 fps? That’s what I would do if you are trying to use the slow motion from the camera. Then run that footage through the DVCProHD Frame Rate converter to slow down the playback. (In the “Tools” menu in FCP 6 and in the Extras folder on the install disk of earlier versions)

  You may need to contact BlackMagic to see if their card keeps the Varicam flags once digitzied because you will need those to slow down the clip. If not, digitize through Firewire.
