30P-25P sequence conversion without skipping frames?

Hi all,
I shot 30P knowing I would play back at 25P resulting in slighlt slo-motion, I have cut a full sequence in 30P using FCP. I only slowed the final mov to get the final 25P.

I need to work at 25P somehow? I threw the edit on a 25P sequence but frames are getting skipped therefore keeping the same sequence duration as the 30P sequence?... I need to play back the 25P frame-for-frame on the 30P sequence resulting in a longer sequence dutation???

How do I do this so that the cuts all lengthen proportionately???
 
you want to lengthen the entire thing? export a self-contained movie, open in Cinema Tools, Conform to 25fps.
 
I have slowed the final mov to 25P... but I want to work in 25P seeing things properly as they ought to be. I shot a music video with music that was made slightly faster so that once the frame-rate conversion was done at the end, the resulting 25P video would be in sync with the origional audio track!

I`ve already found a "not-so-perfect" solution for those interested - I popped the clips on a 25P time-line, speed everything down to 80%-ish so that all the clips opened a bit longer... then removed speed attributes and the clips stayed in the same place with little missing pieces at the end of each clip. I just closed them again and reconnect media with fresh 25P "compressor-25P-conformed" source files :)

...hope that makes sense
 
Do what Big Boss said...use Cinema Tools. That does a frame for frame conversion...or CONFORM rather. Your way of just dropping it into the timeline will not work.
