Help! Need to convert P2 24fps clips to 30fps!

[LouisianaLucy]

I'm working on a project that needs to have both 24 and 30 fps clips in the same sequence. I'm happy to convert the 24 stuff to 30 (we're finishing on video, not film), but I don't know how. Everything I've read says to recapture the original footage, but since it's coming off of a P2 that won't do. Any insight would be much appreciated.
I'm working on an Avid Xpress Pro on a mac, finishing in HD -720 60 project.
Thanks!

If you recorded the footage at 24p and not 24pn, then you actually have 60p with 24p flagged. So, your footage should work in a 720 59.976 project.
But if you want to make 24p into 30p, here is what you can do:

The only way that I have been able to mix different frame rates in Avid is by using Quick Time Reference files. Open a project with a 59.96 timeline, import your .MXF files and then export each file individualy as a QT Reference File. Once this is done, open a new project with a 30p timeline and import each file that you just exported out of the 59.96 project. This is the only way that I have found to do this. Good Luck.
