sync drift, pulldown, FCP and 16mm telecine
i’m working in FCP on a project that combines XDCAM and 16mm material.
i just got back my first two rolls of 16mm telecined to ProRes from the lab. the telecine framerate seems to be 23.98. The sync is drifting badly when i try to sync up the roll of film (it’s one lone 11 minute 400 foot take). I presume this is because the film is now 23.98 instead of 24fps? So what am I supposed to do to fix this? Did the lab do something wrong? They didn’t ask me anything about framerate and what I wanted, but I assumed they knew the standard way of doing this. Or is there something I am supposed to do to change the playback rate of the audio to match? What exactly should I do and how?
Also, will it be a big problem later down the line to combine this material with 30P material in one timeline?
Please help and advise — this is a new workflow for me, and I am not sure how to set this up so that things run in sync. thanks!

Your picture is probably not the issue, it’s the audio. Sound Track Pro has an excellent set of features for adding pull up/pull down that’s super easy. I’d suggest that you read the manual and then try it out.
Mixing 23.98 and 30 is a whole different can of worms. Get your audio and video in sync first, then come back.
