24p question
I have a project that I am working on that has 24p and 60i footage. What project/sequence settings should I use so that I can use both formats in the same project?

Well, you can’t! You can’t mix 24p and 60i and expect it to look wonderful without problems. The question you should be asking is what is my final ouput, is it 24p or is it 30i? When you get that answered, then you can setup your project to match. Are you going to film, HD video, or DVD?

I am going to DVD. I know that it isn’t going to look perfect. I do, however, want it to look descent(if possible). I have never mixed the two in one sequence, so I am curious if anybody else has with “okay-looking” results.

The workflow all depends on a few things:
a) did you shoot 24pA or 24p?
b) do you want to be on a 24p timeline, or a 29.97fps normal NTSC timeline,
c) do you want your 60i footage to look like 24p or not.If you want 60i to look like 24p, you can do so, and you can either use my Standards Converter if you want to edit on a 23.98fps timeline or Film Effects if you want to edit on a 29.97fps timeline.
If you shot 24p Normal, you can edit on a normal NTSC timeline and use Film Effects to make your 60i look like 24p, or not – they’ll both edit on that timeline fine.
If you want a 23.98fps timeline, or have shot 24pA so need to remove the pulldown, you must use something like my standards converter to make your 60i to 24p or else FCP will do a really bad job of it.
Hope that helps,
Graeme
