24p plays smoother in 29.97 timeline
I noticed that when I dropped in 24p footages (from the Panasonic DVX100B) on a 29.97 timeline in Premiere and then send it to Encore as 29.97, the final DVD runs smoother, much like real movies on DVDs.
Since the 24P footages from DVX are actually 29.97 (24 frames per second in a 29.97 stream), I am guessing that by dropping those footages in a 29.97 timeline, the pull-down is preserved (not removed), providing smoothness to the video. And since there has been no change in the original video (since the pulldown is intact), then video will not speed up nor down, maintaining the original speed and length.
What do you guys think? Would you approve of this approach: DVX100 footages (shot in 24p) dropped in a 29.97 timeline?

Here’s the deal. The DVX 100 has 2 settings for 24p. 24P and 24p advanced
You will need to know which one was used.
You can always create a 24p sequence, then import the footage and right click (modify > interpret footage in CS5) interpret footage in CS#. Then check the remove 24p pulldown. See how that looks.
Here’s some reading on the DVX and 24p when you have a few hours to kill 🙂

You mean if I just drag the clips to the 24P timeline, Premiere DOES NOT automatically remove the pulldown of those 24p clips?

Thanks, Vince, for the link. I think that answers my question.
And since I used 24p and not 24pa, I think my observations are correct that dropping the 24p footage into a 29.97 timeline makes a better video than putting it on a 24p timeline, removing the pulldown, and editing pure 24p. In the link that you sent me, it says that I should use 24p standard if I plan to stay on video and edit at 29.97. Am I doing this correctly?
Now my last question would be: if I do that (editing 24p at 29.97 timeline), will the video have exactly the same duration as that of editing in 24p timeline and removing pulldown (the one that you suggested)?
