FCP displaying wrong footage fps

Hey there, i filmed my footage at 25fps but in Final cut it is displaying it at 23.98fps.


I use a Canon which does not have a lower option than 25fps, what am I missing here?


Also just to confirm if I filmed at 25fps I should edit at 25fps right?


Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated!!

I had a similar problem a couple of days ago.


It only took a few seconds to discover that the project had accidentally been set to 23.98fps.


If this is the case, create a new project ensuring it is 25fps and drop in your clips.


Yes, you should edit at 25fps and don't forget to check whether it's interlaced or progressive.
