[CinCVS] Editing 24p Footage

[Matt Pfingsten]

I recently shot a film on a Panasonic AG-DV100B miniDV camera at 24p. Since NTSC (I'm in the U.S.) is 29.97fps, it is my understanding that the DVX100 uses a pulldown of 2:3:3:2 in order to make it possible to revert to the native 24p frames and edit that in post. The fourth paragraph of this Wikipedia article explains it better than I can: < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24p>.

My questions are:

1) Can I convert back to the native 24p frames using Cinelerra?
2) Will Inverse Telecine work for this even though it is a non-standard pull down scheme?
3) Can I take something, say 3D animation, that has been rendered at 24fps, and covert it to this pull-down scheme?

Thanks.
