Hey Dave,
We did remove the pulldown and are in a 23.98 timebase. FCP just tags 24pA footage as 1080p30, and I haven’t found a 1080 24pA tag inside 6.0.5.
The After Effects work does need to match framerate because we are compositing CG elements into existing footage. I just need to find a way to get into AE that won’t trash our quality since it has to go from AE to our colorist and then back to me for final.
