I really hope someone has an answer to this. I just ran into this tonight. Unfortunately I’M the one who set up the project wrong. Took me forever to import Canon T2i .mov files into Avid, then log and organize bins. Tonight I finally finished renaming all the audio that was recorded on the oh so wonderful Zoom (sarcasm) with its lovely repeating file names (its so easy to program it to name files during recording…why must I be given dated folders containing FOLDER01-1?, etc..anyways) so I begin to import the .wav files only to notice I can choose my fps. Thats when I realize I stupidly set the project up in 23.98 instead of 29.97. I have 74 scenes with at least 3 takes/setup and even some multicam all nicely organized in their bins…do I have to start from scratch and reimport everything at 29.97? Or can I just import all the audio at 23.98 as well, cut away, and then bring the sequences into a 29.97 project once the work is done? Yes, as you can tell, this is my first feature and only my 2nd project in Avid. Was trained in FCP and really wish I had that time back.
