CANON 25fps NIKON 24fps

[ROCKMORE]

I have a problem. I have a 3 day shoot with a 60D. My client picked up a Nikon D7000 instead. I thought it would be helpful having a second remote camera but turns out the Nikon doesn't shoot 25P, only 24P and 25p@720.
I'm in pal land and shoot and edit everything at 1080p 25fps so I think the Nikon will be out. Any options? If it comes to transcoding with a 3 /2 pull down I can forget it because I will have about 300Gb of footage to deal with from the 60D.
Should I forget the Nikon?

I had this problem on a shoot once. Many people may disagree with this, but it worked for me and the footage looked like true, genuine 24p (was originally shot @ 30p, so 25 should work even better).

If the Nikon is your B-cam, this should work just fine.

Edit your project in a 24p timeline. Once you're done, drop any 25p .MOV's you used into After Effects.
Add each clip to it's own 24p sequence (or 23.976 if that's what the Canon used)
Activate pixel motion
Export the clip as original_filename-24p
Re-connect the 25p clips in the original NLE timeline with 24p versions

Note: if you have crazy, sudden lens flares, that may pose a problem...otherwise you should be good

The problem is time. This is a live racing event The Asia Cup / formula BMW. All the footage will be shot from various angles on the track then cards run back to the edit room during each 10 lap race. After the checkered flag it will be done and uploaded to You Tube. I decided to get a 600D as the Bcam and use the Nikon as a C-cam. It does shoot 25fps @ 720 so will work for a few clips. They also have 20 GoPro cameras mounted on all the cars so that will fill in any missing gaps. Thanks for the reply though, only if I had more time.
