30p in 23.98 timeline

Good morning, Happy Editors.

I am working in a 23.98 Pro Res HQ timeline.

I want to import some footage shot at 30p. Of course, when I dump it into the 23.98 timeline, FCP immediately converts it to 23.98 by knocking out frames.

How can I force FCP to play this material at 30p - thereby giving a slight slow motion?

I imagine that I have to prepare the 30p footage in some way to fool FCP, but how, he cried?

And, by the way, I have fumbled around in the FCP manual to find this, to no avail. I find it an extremely difficult document to navigate.

Many thanks,

Best

Harry.

Duplicate your clip in the finder, and open the clip in Cinema Tools. Then select conform, and select 23.98fps.

And, Joey, I'm so pathetically out of touch that I had to Google "LMOA."
