    I’m new to all this HD stuff and was wondering if anyone could help me with a small brick wall that I have come up against.

    How can I get my 1080 24p project to accept some 60i footage which I need to use for some slow motion?

    When you say 60i, do you mean 60 fields per second or 60 frames per second? Slowmo stuff would ideally be shot at 60p, so that you have 60 full frames per second, rather than 30 (as with 60 fields per second). Getting avid to reinterpret the timebase of the footage is annoying, so you might want to try bringing your ‘slowmo’ footage into a program like After Effects where you can manipulate its playback speed more easily.

    Thanks for the advise. I didn’t know that about the 60i and 60p so thanks for the heads up.
