Mixing 24p & 60p

Can I film a multi-cam prep and ceremony in 720-60p (for better slo-mo) and the reception in 720-24p (for the low light) then mix it together in FCP?

To my understanding you can put both of these on a 30p timeline. I think you would also export at 30fps. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

Dana: in order to get "better slo-mo" with 60P footage, you need to change the playback speed of the clip in Cinema Tools PRIOR to bringing it into FCP. If for example, you imported the 60P clip and placed it on a 24P timeline, it would not play back automatically in slo-mo. It would play back at it's actual speed and probably require rendering. If you applied a 40% Speed filter to it, FCP would double up frames as necessary to make it play back at 40% RATHER than using individual frames remapped.

So if I had, say, two clips that I wanted to slow-mo, I would film them in 60p, import them into a 30p timeline, then find and convert short clips from the capture file in Cinema Tools individually? So I wouldn't be using basic motion to do it.

It seems arduous, thought I can see how it would generate better slow-mos. Is it possible to jump from FCP to Cinema Tools with a particular clip?

HMC150 with HMC70 - 1080i the only option?

New info: I just bought an HMC70.

The HMC70 only films in 1080i60. It's my static shot. Would you recommend this:

Outdoor Ceremony Multicam w/ slo-mo kiss:
HMC150: 1080p60
HMC150: 1080p60
HMC70: 1080i60

Dark Reception:
HMC150: 720-60p
HMC150: 720-60p
HMC70: Not used

What timeline settings should I use?
