24P projects

About 24P footage
Because support for 24P footage is built into Adobe Premiere Pro, you need to make only minor preparations to
capture, import, and export 24P projects. Adobe Premiere Pro includes project presets for 24P; after you create a 24P
project, you import and capture your footage as usual.
Adobe Premiere Pro also includes two options for playback of 24P footage. Both options convert footage so that it
plays back at 29.97 fps, but with subtle visual and performance differences.
In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can edit images that were captured using 24P and 24P Advance (24PA) interlacing
schemes. These formats allow you to capture footage to NTSC DV tape at 24 progressive frames per second.
