Am an intermediate DVX100b user and am leaving for a 2 week doc shoot, very run and gun, etc.. combo of sit down interviews in the shade + hand-held broll shots on farms, in fields, w/ animals, etc... previously I've shot this type of gig in 24p standard and have just NOT been happy with the motion strobing from the hand-held shots.

For this trip I am thinking of shooting the interviews in 24p standard, and all the handheld in 30p for slightly smoother motion.

I assume I can edit both sets of footage seamlessly on a standard 29.97 timeline, correct?

Has anyone else done this? Thoughts?
 
That would work fine, though you'll be stuck in 29.97.

What you could do is edit all your 24p stuff first, then export it as 29.97, and then edit it together with the 30p stuff.
 
If I am distributing to exclusively internet and tv/dvd, being stuck in 29.97 is appropriate anyway, correct?
 
continuing to experiment - did some tests and was quite surprised by a shutter speed of 250 in both 24p and 30p... there was a clarity to the image that really popped. and a slow pan at shutter 250 at 30p played back on an interlace tv actually looked really good. i know that faster shutter means more clarity and more strobing, but it just looked good. what can i say...
