Thanks Shane, huge help as always. Premiere Pro does seems to be the way to go but the director did want to work out of FCP 7 so I’m just trying to get an idea of all possible options.
The final delivery is 23. 98. Outside of sending it to a facility is there a better/faster option than compressor?
Maybe this is an incredibly stupid idea but would it make any sense to follow the workflow you mentioned above (editing in a 23.98 sequence), copy the 29.97 clips and paste onto a 29.97 sequence (with the holes where the 23.98 clips were deleted) convert the entire sequence to one long 23.98 clip, import back into the 23.98 project and place on the track below the original 23.98 clips and then tweak to fit? This feels like I’m grasping at straws, but like I said, just want to know all the options.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
