Frame rate question

[Speenort]

I do some shooting at 59.94 fps and would like to edit clips at 29.97 fps. That way my clips should be at half speed. My preferences are set for 29.97 fps. However, when I import a 59.94 fps clip into the media pool I'm prompted to change the project frame rate. If I click 'do not change' the clip stays the same length in the time line as if it's at 29.97 fps. To my way of thinking, double the frames should double the length in the time line. Does Resolve Studio automatically cut out half of the frames? When I play the timeline it plays jerky as if half the frames are missing as if I did a speed-change without optical flow..
I suppose I could speed-change the clip and use optical flow, but that seems to be a waste.
What am I doing wrong? What do people do with super fast frame rates? Like in the thousands of frames per second?

I found a 4-year-old video, so I'm not certain whether DVR has addressed this issue. This video might give you the answer you're looking for.

I may not have the answer, but I'm sure someone may have a better response for you. Also, I'm not certain if you are aware, but in your timeline settings, there is a small checkbox labeled "Use Default Settings." Ensure that it is not checked when you try to change the FPS on a particular timeline.

Thank you very much. I had a problem with how to pose a question to YouTube. By clicking on the link you gave me; it didn't answer my question but it got me into the ballpark. From there I easily found that right clicking on the clip and going to clip attributes allowed me to change frame rate without losing frames.
