Well,
I’d say for simplicity sake…it’s only going to air on cable and the master will be 29.97 drop frame timecode.
I would edit the footage exactly the way it was laid to tape which is with a 3:2 pulldown making the images run a 29.97 (23.98 converted to 29.97 was recorded on the actual tape itself)
You can now combine regular 29.97 video to it in the same timeline, multicam it, and all cuts reflect whats on the master tapes as well.
if you do any after effects stuff with the video remember to remove the pulldown first, do the after effects work and render it out with the pulldown on it..just like you would if it was actual film transfer to videotape for tv.
Only worry about the 23.98 projects when they truly reflect an original 23.98 master tape HDCAM and you have to go back to it…or a film project which goes back to 24 fram film.
You are at the point with this that most televison shows for the past 15 years have been doing is editing video tape that has 24 frame media already converted to 29.97 on the tape…and even better you don’t have to worry about going back to a film master.
If there is ever to be a film out of this…then that is a different story… broadcast on tv…Ta Dah….

Tell the wise ass producers you have to mark up everything because it was shot in 24P and that is very special so you will have to invoice them 2.5x the normal editing rate.
