Converting 60i to 24p

Does anyone know how to convert 60i footage to 24p so the cadence looks smooth? I'm working on a long project and loaned one of my EX1s out to someone who changed the settings and forgot to change them back. Now I have 1 day's worth of footage where one camera was set to 60i and the other to 24p. My project is 24p and the 60i footage (even when deinterlaced to 30p) looks jumpy. I've tried putting it directly into the timeline (FCP7) and a couple settings in compressor. All fix the interlacing issue but none the cadence.

First off, everything should be conveted to ProRes (LT or Regular is fine).


In Compressor, select the ProRes preset and duplicate it. This will create a new preset under "Custom" that you will change the settings.


Under the Video Tab, set the frame rate> 23.976, the field order> progressive and the Retimeing Quality > Best (Motion Compensated)


Conversions will take a while.
