Then make a new project with the proper frame rate, slap the exported result into the timeline and hope it doesn't look too bad with optical flow enabled if you need 24 fps.
If you aim for 30, you should rather try to set the exported clip to exactly 60 fps in its clip attributes, put it in a 30 fps timeline and use "next frame". Much faster.
First of all, thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I tried to do exactly as you instructed, however I don't know what you mean with "next frame", i.e. couldn't find an option with that name.
I wasn't precise enough in my initial post. My current timeline has 59.94 fps, so I did what you recommended and selected 29.97 for the "new" timeline, as to maintain an exact factor of two between the two versions.
I selected DNxHR as mezzanine codec with an MXF op1a as container. I am new to this and decided for these after a brief google search - was it a good choice?
I am currently rendering the final result so can't tell yet the differences in file size or quality
Thanks again!
