As someone else replied, you should really only be using true 24p if you are going to film out. You could also use it if you know 100% in fact it is ever going to be used on the web, but why bother? iI our place, if we know we are not going to film(almost never), we do everything in 23.976. Easy enough to get to 29.97 if we have to.

That being said, i do get a lot of footage at 59.94 from go pro's and canon dslr's. If there is not a ton of high speed stuff, i will drop into a 23.976 timeline and if it looks good and no jutter, i go with it. If i need to fix the jutters, i can mark all the frames where it jumps and use frame restorer on it. Learned that trick from i think it was steve o. on the list with some go pro footage. Please forgive me if it wasn't steve, and maybe jack t.

Once or twice we tried 24p and had trouble getting the shots to play back from FCP through the AJA or Blackmagic cards. It seems to view stuff in a suite it needs to be 23.976, 29.97, or 59.94 (for NTSC places that is).
