question about “interpret footage”
I use mostly DVX 24p footage, so when I go into after effects, I always have to set the interpret footage for every clip to 24pA. Is there any way to make this the default interpretation, that way if by chance I bring in something that isn’t 24p, I can go ahead and make my changes at that time.

Look for the “interpretation rules.txt” file in your AE folder. You can alter the rules there.

Ok, found it, any idea what I need to write to have it assume all footage is 24p advanced from a dvx?

You know, it might be easier to interpret the footage, then use “remember interpretation”. It doesn’t look as if your situation is covered in the interpretation rules.
From the help:
To apply Interpret Footage settings to several footage items:
1. In the Project window, select the item whose footage interpretations you want to apply.
2. Choose File > Interpret Footage > Remember Interpretation.
3. Select one or more footage items.
4. Choose File > Interpret Footage > Apply Interpretation. After Effects applies the footage interpretation options to the selected items.Hope that helps,

The only problem is that I have hundreds of footage items and they all reside in different bins, and when you apply the “remember interpretation” across your project, it won’t apply into bins, you have to go into every bin and select all the video items. This is a bane when you have many folders. There is also the chance that you will miss one or more footage items and when you render out your avi, you’ll have most of your project interpreted right, but one cut that just looks wierd because it was actually left out of the interpretation.
