FCPX-Compressor: Conforming/converting 29.97 fps to 24 fps.

I read that it is possible to convert 29.97 to 24 fps using Compressor. In several places, including Apple, it says to click the "Retiming Quality" and select "Reverse Telecine". My master is ProRes 422 HQ. In Compressor there is NO "Retiming Quality", and in the "Quality" section everything is greyed out. There is no "Retiming Quality" choice.

This is Compressor 4.10. On an Intel (maxed out) system. Everything the latest update. When I do a search it says that Compressor 4.10 is the latest version. What might I be missing here?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.3

AI is as thick as two planks and twice as dense. Or as Musk would say as dumb as a sack of bricks.

The Quality section your want with retiming is lower down in settings
