Source framerate different from compositions framerate
Hello,
I have a source footage that was shot using an iPhone 5. When I load it into CS5.5 (getting CS6 soon -don’t know if that matters), it has a 30fps. But all of my compositions (ie. gadgets for HUD) that I’ve previously worked on (just solids, shapes, particles, etc. -no footage) are 29.97 fps. Now, I want to create a new composition (MAIN comp) and put this iPhone5 footage (30fps) and all of my previous gadget compositions (29.97fps) into it. Which of these is recommended?
1. Leave everything as is.
2. Or interpret iPhone5 footage > Conform to 29.97? (Cons: audio maybe out of sync?)
3. Or change ALL of my previous gadget compositions’ settings to 30fps?
4. Or any other better method?The final rendered will be for Youtube and primarily view on a PC.

Apparently, it’s Variable framerate. But when I imported it into After Effects, it became 30 fps.
So are you suggesting that I should make my MAIN comp as 30 fps, put the iPhone5 footage and my other 29.97 comps that I’ve previously worked on in there, and just work normally? Then at the end, render the whole thing as 29.97?
