I'm shooting 24P 1080i on the XH-A1 I'm having some issues with not knowing what I should have my import settings and what I should set my seq settings to, any help thanks.

Edit timebase is different, one is 29.97 the other 23.98.
Normally 24PsF material comes in at 60i, but if it was shot in HDV24F not 24PsF then you'll get 23.98 w/o pulldown, mixing frame-rate/timebase does not work well/smoothly in any NLE.
Just an FYI you'll prob want to capture this to ProRes422 not into HDV or AIC. (Its an option in Final Cut 6.0.5) at 1440x1080 4:2:2 vs. HDV 4:2:0 or AIC 4:2:0
I'm doing a long-form edit of some HDV sourced material, (50+ tapes from 4 different camera models) I had to run compressor for days converting stuff shot in HDV-60i to 24 due to issues with nested sequences edit time-base not being compatible. Some have pull-down at 23.98, some have no pull-down. (depending on whether its Cannon, Sony and what model.).
from DJDecay-response to my thread if u didn't already see it.
