Normally I roll my cameras at 30fps to not deal with pulldown issues. But I'm doing a cut from a job I shot at 24fps and it's driving me crazy.
Questions about the 3:2 process:
1. The way I cut is not with subclips but just selects dragged to the timeline. So when I add the 3:2 contract effect and it creates the container, inside the container the clip seems to be the length of the master clip. Do I need to always go chase down where my in/out points of the top clip are? Or am I doing something wrong? I'd like to have a short clip in an edit, apply a 3:2 contract and inside the container just see the frames from the clip I'm working on.
2. Is it standard in a 24fps edit to do a 3:2 contract and expand so that the sequence is always the same 3:2 sequence as opposed to a random one based on how it was edited? Or do you only do a contract/expand on clips that you need to do effects on?
