  Exporting 29.97 and 59.94 timelines, should I reimport the footage for each?

  Hey Folks,

  So I’m experienced with Avid but not so much with small technicalities. I am trying to export two timelines for a documentary that is in the final stages of post: an Apple ProRes 422 in 29.97 fps, and another timeline at 59.94 fps. The raw footage is of varying dimensions and frame rates.

  In a 29.97 project I reimported the footage at DNXHD 440 and will re-link to finish the post process, now for the 59.94 timeline, should I make a 59.94 project, and reingest everything again at 59.94 and relink to then export the 59.94 timeline?

  Thanks so much for the advice folks.

  Are your deliverables progressive or interlace? Or are you using frame rate as shorthand for 29.97 progressive and 59.94 interlace?
