You may be better off looking into a UFC (universal format converter) if
you're company has the $$. Of course, only if its a long format.
Or by all means, capture 25, note the FFOP to LFOP, start new 23.98
sequence, drop in the 25fps seq to the 24seq and timewarp to the total run
time. Pitch the audio (not sure of all the settings here) . Then do all your
new edits in the 24 (23.98) universal format master sequence (get that?) and
you'll be good to go for any other format you need to output to.
Hope that helped.
