Quick questions- Premiere Pro 720 60P timeline and Raylight

A few quick questions...

1)

I shot 720 video on the HVX with the intention of editing on a 24P timeline.

I can't figure how to get a 24P timeline at 720 size on Premiere Pro 2.0 and all I've got to work with is a 60P timeline at this size. (unless you can tell me how, the custom settings won't let me change it). There IS a 24P timeline at 1028 though, weiiird.

If I imported the video, edited on this 60P timeline, then exported at 24 frames a second, would it mess up my footage in anyway with ghosting, lines, ect.?

2)

I own Raylight and I used it to convert a bunch of the previously mentioned footage. However, the options are 60i/60p or 50I/60P when converting the mxf data. What do I use? Annnnd should I choose the option to "remove extra frames" for the stuff I shot 24P? Which one should I using, babay?

2.5)

I also shot a bunch of stuff at at 36FPS, 48FPS and 60FPS to be slowed down. Should I configure Raylight, or anything else previously mentioned differently to suit these clips?

3)

In order to sync my slow-motion clips (it is a music video and the music was played at the correct speeds to match the FPS) in Premiere, is all I need to do is adjust the percent in the speed option when I right click? It seems a little funny like maybe I should be deflickering or something.

As you can tell I'm not a numbers man and a lot of this goes over my head. please help a brother out.

Never tried this... I usually do it the other way around. Create a 23.976 timeline (as per the tutorial above) and import the 60fps .mxf file. I edit straight off the .mxf file using the raylight plugin and save the rendering for my output to an .avi file.

60i/60p = NTSC (all ntsc frame rates)
50I/50P = PAL (all pal frame rates)

I just drag and drop the .mxf files into my PPRO bin. Seems to work just fine..

sync your slo-mo clips...? Like speed them up to real-time to match your timeline? Or adjust the action to match the beat? PPRO 2 and below does not offer keyframes for slo-mo... You will need to use After Effects to do this.. Or wait until Premiere CS3 is out which will offer AE's time-remapping directly in PPRO CS3.
