Thanks Guys,
I see the two grey markers you speak of. Your recommendation (for archiving) is to trim the clips (inside the container) around these in and out points?
Other overall question. Is it common to only bother with all of this when you need to do effects? or is it done to every single clip in an edit so that the 3:2 sequence is in phase between all the clips?

If I step in to the container. I'm at the true 24 (no half frames) footage. This is good for me. Except I'm having to hunt down the tiny area I was needing to work on. Inside the container is the entire master clip.
Hey Chris, I'm not an expert on this by ANY means, but what you describe above is normal for DS. When you make a container, inside the container will be the ENTIRE original clip (like you just drag it from the bin into your timeline right after capture). What you SHOULD see up in the timecode portion of the timeline are two little grey markers indicating where your IN and OUT were before the container was made. Make sense.
One thing to look out for...when you do these types of "timewarp" effects (even freeze frames) and you go to archive, you best go into EVERY container and cut out all extra footage from the clip that is NOT used, or it will go down on your archive tape.
I feel like I am maken NO SENSE today...and MARC, YES I make sense occassionally!
