Problem with 23.976 and 24p
Hello,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read and help out! I’ll try to be as clear and concise as possible.
We shot most of our movie at 24p, with only a handful of shots at 23.976. Thankfully, our production sound was synced to the clap and not with timecode, so everything has stayed in sync. We have edited (locked cut) the film on Premiere Pro CS6 on a 24p sequence, mixing both the 24 and 23.976 shots. Now we have to do post-sound, music and VFX. I’m thinking of telling all of them to keep working at 24p, finalize the movie at 24p, then output it to 23.976 as the last step. Is this a sane solution to the problem? Are there better alternatives?
Also, in this workflow, should I convert the 23.976 footage to 24p, finish it all, and then bring it all back to 23.976? Or can the few 23.976 shots stay untouched until the last output?
Again, thank you all!

I had a recent job that came in 23.976 and had to be 24P for a DCP package.
I recommend you stick to the 24 frame work flow end to end.
When it’s all done, put the 24 frame output file (with the finished post-sound)
into a 23.976 sequence then export it.It should be ok.
Premiere does a really good job of dealing with that.
