LOL

Good to know. Just wanted to see if it were possible, or if there were alternatives I wasn’t aware of.

I apologize for not being more clear on my original post. It’s hard to convey the intricacies of my situation.

The reason we wanted 60fps overall was so we have the extra frames to make that really sweet slow-motion effect if we need to, but overall would like to keep the 60fps clips in real-time, and just make them look like it was shot in 24. We’d love to shoot the whole thing in 24fps for the film look, but with the intricate timing of the shoot, we can’t afford to shoot it at 24 and 60. It’s basically locked off with long one-take clips.

[Dave]: Copy the clip in question for safety’s sake, open the copy in Cinema Tools, and conform it to 23.98.

That’s one of the things I tried, but it makes it slo-mo. And when I take that conformed 24p clip back into FCP, drop it in a DVCPRO HD 24 sequence and speed it 250% to bring it back up to speed, it does that humming/blurring effect that doesn’t look good. I also tried the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter in FCP (which in essence does the same thing as Cinema Tools, I think) with the same results.
