How do people normally deal with this?

Thanks again in advance

real 24P would be shot at 24.00fps.
for 23.976 I usually do the entire edit and mix at 23.98 (no pull ups). As the final process I´d pull up the master to 24P and deliver 24.00@48k
pretty easy.

Over here we shoot at 24.00 unless there´s some US based vfx house involved. For some reason they prefer 23.98.

Even when you shoot 24P it´s still easy to output 29.97 DVDs if someone wants an NTSC dvd or tape.

IMO way easier than do the whole show at 23.98 only because 1 or two people might want a NTSC VHS tape for dailies ;-)
