I agree. I only use contract/expand on
shots that are affected.
however, if you have to deliver a continuous
3:2 master, you would have to deal with each shot separately.
this can get pretty ugly on long
sequences.

I only do it for the shots that
need effects. I don’t know if this is the “proper” way, but
it always looks fine and never had any problems.

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)

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!
