Quick question that I hope somebody may be able to confirm as soon as you get a moment.

I am capturing a footage for a documentary and the majority of the footage was shot 24pa and captured 29.97 w/ advanced pulldown removal giving me 24p footage. Cool.

But, I have a few reels that were mistakingly shot 29.97 (30p) which were captured the exact same way (I did not uncheck "remove advanced pulldown" in my settings). Am I correct in assuming that I'm ok? And that there is no prob with leaving the "remove advanced pulldown option" checked for capturing 29.97 footage? I'm guessing it should not pose a prob to the footage because obviously there would be no extra frames for FCP to remove.
 
Odd.. when I try capturing with the wrong setup.. ie 30p captured with my Advanced pulldown removal settings it stops saying Can't Find Advanced Cadence on footage or somesuch.

I'd just check the material and see what you have... 30p or something else!!

But then the question of what will you DO with the 30p footage???
