23.976 is amazing if you're dealing with progressive footage.  If most of your footage is legitimately interlaced (ie different info on every field, not just 23.976 with 3:2 pulldown), then you should stick with 29.97.  If you can easily get back to progressive land, it's really, really great.  Note that you'll want to work at 23.976 and not 24 unless you're going to film.

Experts,

Our facility has a video standard of 1080i, 29.97fps. Sometimes we receive
footage shot at 23.98 and/or 29.97, edit at 29.97, create graphics at
29.97 and output for broadcast at 29.97. We have recently have been doing
more work for international markets, and had someone create some NTSC as
well as PAL Blu-Ray discs for us.

We were given an outside recommendation to receive all footage at 24, edit
at 24, and create graphics at 24, to be versatile for 29.97 and 25fps
standards.

Does anyone currently work like this and/or has anyone made a recent
transition to this workflow. Are there any other considerations in
switching over other than just setting our projects at 24? I appreciate
any insight or suggestions.

Thanks,
Micheal McCray
