24p and 30p at DVinfo.net

Okay so lets say I am shooting with my Z7 in 30p, then decide to change it to 24p or 60i. When I go into Final Cut Pro how should I import it as one video but have FCP recognize the individual frame rates of the video files? I haven't bought the Z7 yet, but I am wondering this because I have an XL2 and when I import the tape, it imports the tape as one video clip. When I capture from the Z7 will it do this or have a new clip every time I hit the record button, like it does with AVCHD camcorders. Please help me!

It will make a new clip every time you start and stop record.

FCS 2 can handle multiple formats with no effort. If you pull in files off the CF card, FCP will convert the files automatically to the format they were shot in.

Timeline will change to what ever format you lay down first. FCP makes it pretty easy.
