24PA regardless??

[swiperstopswiping]

This may be common sense, but I just want to make sure.

If I record something in 24pa, say a minute long, and then in my NLE cut about half a second of that minute that was recorded, that is still considered a half a second of 24PA correct?

I am wondering if I cut the footage in certain areas in the NLE, does that possibly change the way that that particular footage is played back??

Make sure you remove pulldown first.

Any NLE will automatically remove pulldown on a selected 24p timeline.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know!

Not true. Some NLEs (like FCP) require that you remove the pulldown before you get to a 24p timeline. It's not automatic.

Yeah, and then there's Liquid, which doesn't deal with pulldown at all, right? I may be totally off on this one, but doesn't Liquid support 24p timelines but only if the footage is stored as a 24p file (i.e. no pulldown removal supported by Liquid)?

Yes I learned this the hard way this week.... Im used to premiere pro

Liquid has a 24p timeline, but it has no truck with pulldown in any way, shape, or form. It doesn't remove it, it doesn't insert it, and if you edit a 24p file on a 24p timeline, it can't preview it.

If you wanna edit 24p, Liquid ain't your bag, baby.
