Converting 29.97 into 24fps
Hello and sorry for bringing this up- I am sure this question gets asked every few months.
I purchased stock footage that is 29.97 fps and need to fit it into a 24fps timeline.
Clearly have to use TC, perhaps the reverse telecine or simple conformation?
Also is there a further step (e.g., plug-in) required to complete the process, to make it glass smooth?
Thank you for your time and consideration.

If you want quality you need to do it out side FCP.
Options – Compressor with Frame Control turned on. (reverse telecine only works on footage that WAS 24p and then had 2:3 or 3:2 pulldown added to make it 29.97)
