is there a playback different between 24p( 29.97 frames) and 24pa(23.97)..
beside those extra frames......and which of these give you the closest to film feeling...
What do you mean a playback different? 24pA is optimized for editing 23.98 native in FCP, 24p is optimized for 29,97 editing with a 24p 'look'. Visually they look almost identical at playback.
