If he makes the project 30p, no pulldown will be added. That's only added if he does 1080i60...interlaced 29.97.I haven't had ghosting with 30 in a 24 project. Just stuttery frames. Yeah, don't blend anything

blending looks like. You need Both Fields. Bite the bullet, have it drop
those frames hard. There will be stuttering, but no ghosting.
You could move into a 30 frame project, and have the 23.98 clips get 2:3
pulldown added. That will be fine but you'll be at 30 fps and who knows if
you want to be there or can.
