Originally I was told my current project would be a mixture of many different cameras and frame ratea. Because of this I suggested onlining in 1080i/59.94 our ultimate delivery format. I have now been informed all the source material is 23.98 from the vaeious cameras. The majority of the show was shot on a Sony F55 to XDCam and the offline project was a 23.98 NTSC project. I was also originally tole the network would accept a 23.98 master but now I'm told the network need 59.94.
Even though I had requesed the online be done at 59.94 the AEs just onlined in a 23.98 project. Now my plan is to take their online sequence and cut that into a 59.94 sequence. This will add the motion adapters but I realize the sequence will have a random cadence between shots. That's no different than just having a deck add pull down to 23.98 material on capture but given I have a true 23.98 sequence to start with would it be better to use universal mastering to tape to get a proper A frame on 0 and 05 frames on the final sequence. I doubt they will remove pull down later but I'd hate to throw that out if possible.
If I do go the universal mastering route what is the cleanest and most reliable way to make a 29.97 file for closed captioning that will be accurate to the universal mastered tape. I also have to deliver a full res pro res file for DvD's. The Pro Tools session is 23.98 so I assume that I'd have to bring that into the 23.98 project first before cutting the sequence into. 59.94 timeline if I go that route. I'm not at the system right now to play around but any suggestions would be appreciated.
