Converting 60i to 24p: Twixtor or FCP X’s process?

Cool. I want a 23.98 timeline anyways so that’s good.

Last question: given this weirdness, should I import everything as a proxy and edit that way rather than native? I just assume Pro Res Proxy in editing will look like Pro Res optimized when I export whereas perhaps there will be weird differences if I make a complete 80 minute H264 timeline and then convert it all to optimized Pro Res at the end?

One other question: when picking the option howard suggested, choosing uppter dominance as the field, should I also click on and choose “deinterlace”?
