Am I Insane?

So..
I had a friend - she had some tapes recorded at 24p on a Canon XL2. NOT 24pa. 24p.
I read up as much as I could, and concluded that the way to get this footage to 24 was to capture at 30, then convert to 23.98 using Cinema Tools reverse telecine.
Now, she's claiming that the footage could/should have been captured into final cut at 24 fps directly - no need for Cinema Tools. Is this the case? If so, how could I have done it differently?
Help, please..
 
No, you are correct. If it was recorded with a 2:3 pulldown, FCP CANNOT remove it upon capture or internally, Cinema Tools is need. For 24PA, she would be correct.
 
So...
You "had" a friend?

Sorry, it's very early in the morning and I could't resist...

Yeah, what KingsReign said...

And for what it's worth, yes, you probably are as insane as the rest of us. But that has nothing to do with the problem you're trying to solve, wouldn't you say?
