Hi. Thank you Jeremy and everyone whose offered help so far. I am still at a loss as to how to change the vid rate of my clips from 59.94 to 23.98. Just to restate the circumstances:
Footage was shot in HD at 24fps on an HVX200. p2 cards were dumped onto GRaid2 drives via a newer Mac, and I assume more current version of FCP.
I’m editing on Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and need to intercut the new footage with preexisting footage.
My sequence and capture settings seem to match, but I was only able to import files using the Panasonic P2 option. Once imported I was unable to edit in the sequence because the new footage has a vid rate of 59.94 (with 3 repeating, 2 repeating).
One other note. Before I imported the files, only a small portion of them had corresponding capture scratch files on the Graid drives. I am able to import those quicktime files normally, and the vid rate for those clips is 23.98. They also do not require rendering in the sequence.
Thanks again.
