Mixing 24p footage in 29.97 timeline

[Austin P.]

Ive noticed that if I have some 24p and some 30p footage in a standard 29.97 timeline, there is frame blending in the 24p footage.

I've tried to conform the footage in cinema tools but it was undercranked and sped up. Is there a proper way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Its best just to edit in a 23.97 timeline.

i second that^
or you could render out all your 24p footage using a 2:3pulldown to 30p, or did you say you already tried that?

No, you don't want to cut 30p in a 24p timeline. 30p makes for a bad conversion to 24p. And 24p makes a bad coversion to 30p.

Edit as 29.97 if you have to mix them.

29.97 Timeline FTW. Anything else will destroy your footy even worse than it'll look.
