You are a genius! It worked.
Thanks -
Thanks for the suggestion. But could you though just explain it to me a bit more? Do I separate fields? How do I remove the first frame, or (original field) and then recompose?
Many regards,

I have tried the 24pA interpretation in AE but to no good result. I thought at the start that perhaps it was 2:3:3:2 with messed up field dominance, which literally it makes sense that it is, but I couldn’t get it to work out. The field dominance is definitely Lower.
Thank for your responses. -
No I’m not sure. How can I be sure?

So I just managed to get cinema tools to complete a reverse telecine, but it throws out an interlaced frame every 4 frames and the two frames either side of the interlaced one looks very faintly interlaced also.
I am at wits end. There must be a way to separate these fields in FinalCut and then recompose the 24p?

The audio has no frame rate column once it is put into the sequence, however if I look at the actual clip in the bin, ie. not in any sequence, it says TK speed 24 and timecode 30.

Problem is, I don’t know if it drifts. Most of my shots are quite short and the audio tracks only go from Clapper to end of shot. There is no second sync point of reference betweeen video and audio after the first clap. I know this means that I shouldn’t really worry about the audio in this case, that 0.1% over a short shot will not be that noticeable, but you know I want it to sound as good as possible obviously.

Thank you all so very much. I will try the Audio recompress later.
However, I noted that 100.1 percent speed adjustment wouldn’t have accounted for my 5 frames fast every 20 seconds (sorry, I keep saying that and it is more simple to say 1 frame every 4 seconds). So I decided to just drag the MiniDV footage onto my timeline to see where it was going off. Turns out, Final Cut does a rudimentary reverse telecine process on 29.97 footage when you dump it onto a 23.98 timeline. So I am now able to match precisely the cuts from the original edit. Turns out I had quite a high error rate when I did it by calculating the timecode equivalents between 29.97 and 23.98 (only ever attempt this method of matchback for a World Record in stupidity). So I should be alright now.
Just out of interest. If I get the cuts to match will I still need to compress the audio to 47~~~ Hz? Now that I know which format I want to work on (23.98) thanks to your kind suggestions, I think I will be able to do some more searches for answers already posted here.
Thanks again.
An invaluable resource for getting out of problem solving thought loops.
