Final Cut Pro Log+Transfer
I have some footage shot at 60P but for some reason when I bring them in to final cut via log and transfer they are converted to 30P. This is my timeline setting but I intended to keep the 60P for for slow motion. I can’t seem to find the appropriate setting/solution. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

1080 60p is not standard, so probably not supported by FCs L&T.
I’ve read (guess you are talking about AVCHD) that the way is to re-wrap the clips with ClipWrap.
Then you can customize a 1080i60 sequence as progressive.

Does it make a difference if it was shot at 720? I am just stunned that for $1000 I cannot bring in 60P and use it how I wish without seeking the aid of external applications.

From what I can follow of your description, it doesn’t sound like log and transfer is converting anything. It sounds like you’re putting 60p footage into a 30p timeline and FCP is playing it back at 30p, dropping every other frame of your 60p footage as I would expect it to do. What you probably want to do is use Cinema Tools to conform your 60p footage to 30p, then import to FCP and it will play back in slow motion.

Is this 720p P2 footage?

As Rafael said, 1080p60 is not supported. It is a non standard format. 720p60 is a standard format.
You might have to use something like Clipwrap or Toast 10 to convert to ProRes 1080p60, then cinema tools to conform to 30p slow motion.

When did anyone ever say anything about 1080p60? I’m so confused.

I don’t know why anyone jumped to that conclusion either.

The only case where 60p files would be converted to 30p is in the case of 1080p. 720p is a 60 frame standard format, so it wouldn’t come in as 30p, unless it was shot that way.
Educated guess.

That’s why the poster has to be specific about their question.

Shooting P2 @ 720pN30 will bring in 30p movies. You know that tick box that we always have people uncheck in the Log and Transfer prefs? If he shot 720p30 over 60, it would come in 30p if that box was checked.
It is totally possible to have 720p29.97 footage with Panasonic P2. It just like shooting 720p24.
