24p to 30p…is there a clean way to do this?

[Kere_7]

Thanks for the reply. So what you are saying is the 24p setting is not really 24p? And when editing the 30p setting is fine?

Alright…thanks for the website. I will check it out.

Here’s the lowdown:
The film was shot with a Panasonic 100A and a JCV GY100. Some of the footage is in 24p, some is in 30p. I was hired as an editor and they have asked me to convert/transcode the 24p/30p footage so that it can be used in the same timeline. Are you following so far?

The problem is: they want to be able to cut the two frame rates in one timeline and not have render the footage everytime.

This is the question I am posing: Is there a clean and easy way to convert/transcode the footage from both of these cameras, with diff. frame rates, into one harmonious sequence?
