It will not properly understand the V1Us 24A mode when you import it. I haven't tried regular 24P mode though.

You can right click on the clip and choose "Interpret Footage" to specify the frame rate, but I'm really not confident that it is converting it properly. Cause well, you can set any frame rate you want really.

I capture using cineform into an avi and use it to edit, it previews ok unless I use filters and such, then it acts like any other clip, and the size of the preview window.

24p and 24pa is the same, 24pa has a slight pause between clips. I use 24pa for the pause.

Just read some more from David Jimerson, says 24pa is different,

Thank you guys for your input. Much appreciated.

Hugh,

I'm pretty sure the cadence is difference.
24pA is not 2323, or 2332, it's something else entirely.

The "Search" feature is your friend.
24pa writes a start cadence every time, assuring that a clip starts with the correct pulldown information in it. This is done for various NLE's that can't support the standard 24p mode.

On the Sony mini site it says that the cadence is 2323. I haven’t tried it yet but I will as soon as I get a chance.
