I find the easiest way to do it is, create the Motion project file that you want. Then open up the template. In Motion you can have more then one project open at a time. Make sure you have the project pane or timeline open on both. Move one over so you can see both at the same time and drag the contents of the Motion template into the project file you want. Motion will convert the frame rate for you. You will need to resize a little. I find it is easiest to get everything in one group and change the size of the one group. Hope this helps and best of luck.
