Edit on a 30i timeline?

[Kugar13]

A buddy of mine replied on an adobe premiere pro 2.0 forum at adobe.com indicating I should be editing 24p (not 24PA) footage on a 30i timeline. He stated 24p timelines in adobe pp2.0 are for 24PA footage, not 24p footage.

Is that true?

Thanks!

wow, I feel stupid!

I've been editing my 24p footage on a 24p timeline for 3 years now.....

dang!

I made a mistake. I've been using Scene file 6, 24pa setting. The reason I've been doing this is in hope that one day one of my projects would be converted to film.

So, what would I do when trying to use 24pa footage and 30i footage in the same project?

This project will never be converted to film. Should I abandon the 24pa footage in favor of the 24p footage?

Thanks!
