How to use optical flow in fcpx when my clip and timeline are both 23.98 fps ?

Grrr ... Dropping 29.97 fps onto a 24 fps project timeline ... and NOT wanting the the timeline to change frame rates? Grrr. So I have a 24 fps project timeline. I'm dropping a 29.97 fps clip onto that timeline ... and the timeline is converting to 29.97 fps. I'm confused. Always in the past when I dropped any frame rate onto a timeline I've chosen to be 24 fps, the clip coming onto that timeline has to convert to the 24 fps. Or I just have to do a Rate Conform. Now the clip is changing the frame rate of the timeline. I'm going to go make myself an ice cream cone while I wait for someone to explain this to me... Ben

How to change frame rate interpretation of a clip in Final Cut Pro (also changing the timing of the clip)? How do you control the frame rate interpretation of a clip? For example, within a 24fps timeline, take a one second 30fps clip and play every frame at 24 fps with no frame interpolation, which would then automatically be a duration of 1.25 seconds. For example, in Premiere or Resolve you simply select the 30fps clip in your bin and type in the 24fps frame rate, then the duration is automatically changed to be longer. The idea is that there is no rendering or processing. It's simply playing every frame of a clip on the timeline, regardless of duration change.

Conforming 24fps to 25fps I have some fairly detailed projects that I may need to convert from 24fps to 25fps. They are mainly 24fps footage, with occasional crops and zooms on the footage and other media (animations, graphics, etc). My first thought was copy and paste the timeline into a 25fps project, but noticed that automatically speeds it up. I want to keep the same speed and overall duration. But from my tests, retiming the sequence back to the original duration looks to be a major headache with alignments getting mixed up and the gaps I have in the timeline creating complications. So I thought perhaps export the 24fps master, reimport (with audio separate) and retime that way in a 25fps timeline. However, I notice that the optical flow option in the Frame Sampling setting of the Rate Conform dropdown seems to create all new frame, instead of just the 25th frame? Is that so? What would others do? thank you, Ross

OF is to interpolate/artificially create missing frames when Timeline and Clip do have diff. frame rates.

When both are 24fps = no Optical Flow needed/possible…
