What's the best way to work with the AVCHD 24p Native footage from the GH13 in Premiere Pro CS4? Maybe some haven't tried it, but if I use the 24p AVCHD preset, the frame rate is set at 23.97, however the GH13 shoots at 23.91.

When I'm editing in the timeline, I keep getting tiny gaps between clips every now and then. Also, if I do not turn frame blend off for every single clip, I get a lot for frame blending ghosting on export.

So, my process right now is to edit, go in and find all the gaps and usually I can close them by grabbing the ends of the clips and extending them the .1 frame.

Then select the clips and turn frame blending off.

I export at 23.97 fps and I don't see anything wrong, but I know that there are duplicate frames every now and then because of the differing frame rates.

Should I reinterpret the footage as 23.97? Any other tips?

Blazer, this issue is being discussed in this thread http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=214800. Except that the most commonly reported "problematic" framerate is 23.971 (vs 23.976 standard), not 23.91. Are you sure you got that right?
