Hello,
I got the next issue:
I'm cutting out an image for a rotoscoping since two days, and although I was absolutely sure I checked it before, the problem is here:
import my 25fps footage and work into 30fps composition and create a lot of precise masks.
now, if I try to change the frame rate,the masks are blow over...
Any idea how to fix this, whitout remaking it again?!
I'm editing a music video, so I need the sync...
Thanks in advance!

Sorry to say this, but you've got a problem. You've got to standardize on one frame rate: either 25 or 29.97. The two frame rates don't mix as you've sadly discovered. While you can salvage the work you've done, you need to do roto work on 25fps footage in a 25fps comp. Yeah, it'll take time to sort out the mess, but it isn't a complete disaster.
The short answer: there's no quick and easy way out of this dilemma.
If you've GOT to have the sync, what's stopping you from using an audio file, which has NO frame rate, but rather a simple duration that doesn't change with frame rates?
