Combining 24P with 60i in Same Project?

Can I combine 24P and/or 24Pa with 60i in the same project in Adobe Premier Pro 1.5?
If not, is there another way to get those clips together in the same project such as making a separate project for the 24p stuff and rendering it out as an avi then bring it back into the 60i project?

Help!

Thanks,
Joe
 
You can combine 24P/PA with 60i in PP1.5 using a 29.97fps timeline, but the 24P video will look a little jerky. This is because PP1.5 removes the DVX's pulldown and adds their own pulldown. There is currently no way to overide this "feature".

One work around is to trick PP1.5 to think that your 24P video is actually 60i video. PP1.5 only looks at the first frame of a clip to determine what type it is. So you can put together your video (but don't render), then add 1 or more frames of 60i to the beginning, then export it as a movie. Then re-import that clip. You'll lose your original timecode, but you'll have useable video.
 
That's a very interesting question, since my "still-in-development" project will have similar requirements. I wonder what the "best" way (i.e., for maximum playability/compatibility with DVDs, DLPs, etc.) to achieve this is?
 
For maximum compatibility, use the oldest standard you can tolerate. That's probably 30fps timeline and constant bit rate compression.
 
Hi, I just tried another solution that's easier, although it does require rendering.

1) nest your 60i sequence with the mixed footage into a new sequence

2) apply a dud effect to the nested sequence (for example brightness&contrast with both set to zero - no change)

3) render and enjoy smooth playback with correct interpretation :-)

I'm a bit confused with this procedure...
Do I need to recapture the 24p footage using Premier 1.5's Panasonic 24p project setting or can I use the originally captured 24p footage that was captured at 29.97. If I do a new 24p project, is this where I import a 60i frame.

Please walk me through this.

Thanks!
