  720/59.94P editing in 59.94fps or 29.97fps?

  Hi All,

  I like to seek your advice on editing in which frame rate, for source material of 720/59.94P, coming from Panasonic HD P2 cameras.

  FCP is able work with timelines in both 59.94fps or 29.97fps, with the above source material.

  In a 29.97fps timeline, the 720/59.94P material will lose odd-numbered frames.

  The final audio mix will be done by a Pro Tools DAW.
  The editor will export a OMF file & pass it to the audio engineer.

  The final audio mix will be inserted onto the master HD-D5 tape, as it will be encoded as Dolby E, at the audio facility.

  In Pro Tools, there is no support for 59.94fps timecode.
  Therefore, I’m not sure FCP should edit in which frame rate, for proper syncing & matchframe.

  If anyone has any experience working with similar workflow, hope you can kindly share with us here.
  Thanks again!

  Cheers,
  Ben Cheng
