    Correction, you have two video FRAME RATES. Formats would be HDV, AVCHD, DVCPRO HD, ProRes…stuff like that. Mixing formats is fine in FCP (and most other NLEs now). The issues arise when you try to mix frame rates, like you are. Then things can get messy.

    Best to convert your frame rates to match. So choose what frame rate you want, then use Compressor to convert the other frame rate to match.
