FPS Issue

If you know what your delivey format is then make that your sequence frame rate convert the other footage to that using Compressor. Search this forum and the FCP forum and you’ll find many posts about how to do this.

Without knowing the source of this footage it’s hard to say, but while FCP will technically support mixing your frame rates, stick to the one that you’ll finish on. Don’t just drop your 29.97 footage onto a 23.98 timeline mixed with other 23.98 material and expect it to look right. If you didn’t shoot your 29.97 with pulldown, you might want to edit at 29.97….if you shot it with pulldown, you have several options for pulldown removal (cinema tools, compressor reverse telecine). Depends on what you need to deliver at.
