There was some changes made to mix & match in v5 that a transcode does convert to timecode to project type. So in theory, with all media online, this could work. But it is not a metadata only conversion process like what is possible with "modify format" which works with sequence metadata only. This function does not support edit rate conversion as is this scenario and do the proper timecode conversions.
I haven't played much with the transcode/conversion process and need to check with product owners and engineering as to the full workflows available with this. My initial understanding is that it simulates what would happen with a "Teranex" type conversion and recapturing from the new tape source with timecode conversion. I do not know what it does for matchback material, embedded 2:3 pulldown (advanced or normal), etc. I will check into it as well as play with a few clips myself.

On my MC 5 I can't just open the 30I sequence (29.97) in the 23.98 project because it has matte keys and it won't make the mixdowns necessary while in the HD 1080P 23.976 project. I am prompted to go back to the 30I project and do the modification there and it will create the needed mix downs. I guess what you suggest would work if there were no matte keys or imports that require a mix down. Once I do that then I can proceed as I already outlined. I think the glitch I see here is that if I don't have the offline media on hand I can't transcode the clips to the new project rate of 23.976 and I'm still stuck with 30F code in the Start TC. It seems modifying the sequence from 30I matchback to HD 23.976 1080P does not move the TC 24 into the start tc of the clips like it should. I believe that's when you told me the source TC gets converted from 30F to 24F but if I look at the modified sequence before transcoding I have 30F start tc and nothing in the TC 24 column. Once transcoded I still have no tc 24 data but the start time code is then 24F. When I look at the bin with the 30I matchback sequence it has both start tc 30F and TC 24 (which was created when I duplicated the start tc column.) Would I be correct in assuming the glitch or part of it is that the start tc remains 30F after modifying the original 30I match back sequence to HD 23.976 1080P? Sure seems like that isn't right to me but I've always used the edl method in the past so I really have only modified NTSC 23.976 projects in the past with success when onlining in HD. Pretty far out Friday night/ Sat morning for me.
