You can set your project to 1080 @ 30p then add a generator first so it doesn’t revert to 60i automatically if set settings to first clip is set.
It will automatically deinterlace the footage.

Intel and AMD are just about to release new chips so the time to buy isn’t now but could be soon.
A 5K iMac on the other hand is a great machine and would be a huge upgrade over what you have.
Mac Pro’s are great, it’s what I have but I do a lot of Red transcoding which is CPU and GPU intensive so I use all the muscle.
The iMac can do 4K editing as if it were HD, and the screen is the best you can buy at the moment.

I’m sorry to hear that.
Although the timing change was going to happen editing one frame per second slower, the pitch shouldn’t have changed.
Would it be possible to post a sample of both timelines just for my own understanding?
-
Does duplicating the project and detaching audio fix it?
I haven’t had the pitch be affected for a few years now. It normally just makes the audio play faster or slower with no pitch shifting.
-
I learned this the hard way as there was no other evidence it was changing the frame rate to match the project settings 1:1 that the length was exactly the difference it should be.
The pitch being perfect threw me off.
I think it’s fixed as that’s exactly how much shorter a 20 second clip should be at the new speed.
-
That sounds about right. You lose about a frame per second worth of time.
Does it look good otherwise?
Are you going to be exporting it to another app via XML?

This could be a shot in the dark but is it possible there is a codec/camera firmware mismatch?
What version of FCP X are you on?
You may want to manually reinstall the pro video formats https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396?locale=en_US

Can you do a test and select the same section of your cut in both timelines and see what the total runtime is?
I’m hoping that the same section is shorter in your 25fps timeline.
If it’s working as it should it won’t say that the multicam clips framerate has changed which is confusing.
-
Put a 25p clip in the timeline first, then copy paste the sequence in. That will force FCP X to make your settings stick.
By default it wants to make the settings at whatever the first clips are.
-
Are you opening up an old version of FCP X with archived projects? Or is that the version you currently use?
10.0.6 and older was tricky with copy pasting into projects. Things would shift, this was fixed by 10.1.
If you do want to try and convert to the latest version make sure you do it using copies of your events and projects on a completely separate media managed drive and don’t have the original drive hooked up.
It may not work perfectly but once you fix any translation issues you won’t have to worry about outputs again. (I know, not the question you asked.)
Good luck!
