720 24P ingest, best timeline to edit in
Hello masters of 24p. Wondering if you could help a padawan.
Editing a doc project in which the footage was p2 acquired using the 2000, 500 and 200 cameras all set to 720 24p (not 720 24pN). The director is interested in the 24p look for the project. The final deliverable to the network is a SD DigiBeta 29.97 lower/field 1 dominance master. We do have access to a Kona3 card for output.
On p2 data log and transfer, I have experienced some problems with some clips causing the red stop sign exclamation icon to be displayed. In reading the threads here, I have since found that if I uncheck the preference “remove advance pulldown and duplicate frames” all footage imports nicely, producing 59.94 clips in the FCP bin. Hoping that given the 720 24p setting, that is correct?
The question then is should I edit the piece in a 59.94, 29.97, or 23.98 timeline? Which is best to retain the 24p cadence, heading toward my SD tape based deliverable.
Thanks for your time

24p just has duplicate frames added to the file as it is writing to the P2 card. You should be able to removable it on ingest but it seems you are having issues. If you take the ingest clips at 59.98 select them in the bin and go to Tools> DVCPro HD framerate conversion to get them to 23.98. This can be confirmed in the frame rate column of the clips.

“720p DVCPRO HD camcorders can record 24 fps footage within a 60 fps signal by
duplicating frames. The duplicate frames are usually flagged within the DVCPRO HD
video signal so applications like Final Cut Pro can automatically remove them. You can
also remove duplicate frames using a frame rate converter (such as the DVCPRO HD
Frame Rate Converter in Final Cut Pro).”
