1) Start with a 30I project
2) Create 30I Matchback Project and duplicate the original sequence
and then duplicate the start tc to TC 24 column.
3) Modify the sequence to 23.976 HD 1080P (This was what I missed in
previous attempts because I was going to NTSC 23.98 which only
supports 30 frame source code, I think). Created a new 23.976
1080P project and copied this sequence into a bin in the new
project At this point revealing ref clips shows clips with Start
TC 30F and TC 24 24F code. TC1 for the source clips is still 30F
4) Duplicated sequence to a new bin and transcoded to 23.976 1080P
project rate. At this point the trancoded clips have no TC 24
but the Start TCs for transcoded clips are 24F. Source TC1 is 24F
5) Created a new bin and duplicated the transcoded sequence in it.
Decomposed the sequence and ended up with new video master clips
offline with no TC 24 but start TC 24F code (except for audio
clips which still have 30F start code and TC 24 values.) Source
TC1 is 24F
This seems to have worked as best I can tell. Greg you seem to be correct that without the offline media to transcode this wouldn't work. That seems the only way to get the start column time code to be 24F. I'll play around some more without the offline media to see if there is a way to fool the process.
