one last question. Is there any reason to conform 29.97 or 30p material to 23.98 before cutting it into my sequence, which contains 90% 23.98 footage? My old school instincts tell me yes but now I’m starting to wonder….

My master needs to be 1080i at 29.97 – I should have clarified that. However, all 1080 options, except 23.98, are greyed out. Here is what my kona menu looks like:

I was under the impression that the Kona Frame Buffer needs to be set to the frame rate of the material i’m cutting – is that wrong? My knowledge of the kona card, in case you didn’t already guess this, is limited at best and the folks where I’m cutting don’t have the answers either so a big thanks for your help.

OK. So then I don’t have an HD option coming from 23.98 in the Kona Card settings, which would seemingly bring me to the end of this proposed path, correct? What would be my best option for HD playback at 29.97?

I have a kona 3 card on the system, which is FCP studio 2. I was going to just let the kona card do it. Is there anything I need to know about the Kona settings?
