25fps sequence with just one 10fps clip

I have a sequence that needs to be 25fps in output. I made it apple prores 422 and converted to that all the clips to avoid rendering time.
I need to edit together at least 3 clips on this sequence.
One of these clips I need to have an oldish look, something that converting it to 10fps would exactly achieve for me. Unfortunately, when reimported in the project, first FCP 7 sees it as 25 fps, then when moved into the sequence, it just plays extremely fast.
I guess what I need is to keep the duration of the clip while giving it the dropped-frames look.
Now this brought me to 2 questions:
1) If I effectively have a 10 or 15 (low basically) frame rate clip, how do I put it in a sequence at 24/25/30 keeping its right duration as its look as well?
2) how do I give that "dropped frame" look to a regular (24/25/30) frame rate clip in a simple/quick way? Because I solved this by a) selecting part of the clip I wanted in the "dropped frame look" b) exporting with quicktime compression putting 10fps in the settings c) reimporting to fcp7 d) opening the clip in the viewer and then reexporting it with quicktime compression giving 25fps again. It kept the look since it reduced the frames the first time around, but brought it back to be accepted and treated fairly by the original 25fps sequence...
I know it sounds all wordy and complex... but any opinion would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!

You need to look at the possibilities that Cinema Tools offers -changing frame rates whilst retaining the "look" and read up about Speed Controls in the FCP manual.
