oops! DP flipped the dial

[scorsesefan]

working on a doc and shooting everything in 24pa. My DP must have accidently turned the scene file from f6 to f5. Now I have two hours of footage shot in 24p and when I put it in the timeline it needs to be rendered. Does anyone have a solution, as I can't shoot this stuff again.
thanks

You could drop the 24p stuff in a separate timeline and drop that into your 24pa timeline, but the essential problem, as I understand it, is DV will not look as nice de-interlacing the 24p cadence, and so you'll have kind of a breathing effect. The good (?) news if you are going for SD delivery, then you will end up with a similar result of 24p deliverables at the end and maybe you can work all 24pa and at the end drop in your 24p stuff in cadence, so it'll kinda match. If you're not going to end up with a SD only delivery, then it is what it is... Try to pull out the interlacing and see how it works, but ...
