a mixed bag of frame rates, HELP!

[Ryan CBP]

Hi guys

Ok so I've put together a music video from tour footage shot recently. The whole thing was shot at 25fps on a canon xha1 however some of it was shot at 50i for slow motion purposes.

On a computer or the web it's unnoticeable but this video is looking like its going to be aired on UK tv possibly which means the frame rates will be visible. I need to convert the clips that are shot in 50i to 25fps when I've slowed them down.

Now do I just run the entire video through something to do this, or do I have to change the couple of clips before exporting. If you could help me and give me some directions it would be great, this is a gap in my knowledge that I've wanted to fill for a while now.

Thank you!

ps. I'm also color grading in color, although im sure that will have no effect?

I also have the complete final cut studio 2 (upgraded to the most recent version)

I'm guessing you're editing at (sequence settings in FCP) 25fps, yes? I'm not really familiar on PAL broadcast formats, but I would think that if it you can export a high quality file of your edit, and it plays back fine, then you might be fine going to broadcast?

Ideally you could check on a monitor through FCP, but also try laying it off to a DVD and see how that works out, if your 50i stuff is janky or not. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge in PAL can jump on here. Good luck.
