What is the correct method for slow-mo 60i footage in 23.976 timeline?

I assume it's better to use After Effects than Premiere?

If so, what is the correct way to slow down 60i footage and place it in a 23.976 timeline? Right now I am interpreting the footage as 23.976 (from 29.97) and then going to "Time Stretch: 200%". Will that give the best quality slow mo effect?

Also when I zoom in 100% on footage shot in 60i, it seems much more pixelated than footage shot in 24f on a Canon XH-A1. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks
Tom

One more thing. My 24f footage has "Seperate Fields: OFF". Where as my 60i (29.97) footage has "Separate FIelds: Upper Fields First". Is that correct?

Yes. Shutterspeed is the key. The higher the better, minimum is 1/120.

Shouldn't be doing that.

24F footage is progressive so there is no field order.

There's a plugin from Revision FX called Fieldskit thats good for what you're trying to do. What it does is takes a 29.97i file and can create a 60P intermediate out of it. Just make sure you have some sort of editing codec support on your system. Cineform is highly reccomended, unless you have some array that is capeable of reading 4:2:2 YUV in real time.
