Oh well…not good but thanks for the answer anyway…

Yes, thank you – that was a lot of insight. I usually don’t work with this material (as you can tell) When looking up some informations on the frame rate converter, I already suspected that I would have my footage in 59.94 and extract it from there. The problem is that the footage reads 29.97 as I received it and I have no chance to recapture, so … please bare with me… since I can’t “render” the lost information of 59.94 back – what would be the advice for me to do? I know its probably a disaster but… any ideas?

Yes it did. Just to mention that: The regular pulldown came from a Varicam camera, footage was digitized at 60i on a 1200A, while the 2:2 pulldown footage came from a HVX200, recorded on firestore, so the clip came in as QT as it was.

Thank you for your answer! A good advice – will be remembering this next time. However here the settings do match for a standard 60i, 30 / 29.97 sequence. They both play out fine – except that every fourth frame is duplicated. By looking at them in Shake I can see that a different pulldown must have been introduced on both cameras. While one is obviously a 3:2 pulldown, they other seems to be 2:2 (two interlaced and two whole frames). Since the client already complained about “choppy” frames after having converted the edit from 60i to 50i / 25 fps (on a stand alone converter that is), I was asked to look into this and found the doubled frames. In Shake I can remove the 3:2 pulldown but will end up with a clip in 24p. As for the other clip, I can also use some nods to clip out every fifth frame, but in the end I will always end up with a shorter clip that won’t synch to the audio. Or am I supposed to leave the doubled frames all in there??? I can hardly imagine that… Any ideas?
