How to work with 50i and 30f/p footage at the same time - FCPX XHA1s

Hi all,

Brand new to iMac and FCPX... so really hoping for some help from the more experienced out there! 😝

I've been shooting in 50i on my XHA1s for about a year, but have faced lots of interlacing issues which I've never managed to resolve. I didn't have a particular reason for shooting 50i, other than it was the default setting and optimum in terms of image quality I suppose.

Anyway, after much reading I've decided to switch to 30f/p as a fixed setting moving forward... so my question is, how will I work with these two types of footage in FCPX in the same projects/movies?

Is it simply a case of importing my new 30f footage and letting FCPX do the work, or will I have to get involved in settings? Presumably what I am trying to do is a possibility in the first place?! I really hope so, as I need to still use lots of my 50i footage in projects, at least for a few months anyway...

Any help or insights would be hugely appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Jimmy
