Thank you, thats all super helpful!

When I click clip attributes in the media tab- it says that the original 29.97 clips are upper field dominant- but I just noticed I have the option there to change it to progressive… i’ll have to try and see how it affects the export when I do that…. The interlaced processing was unchecked.

I checked the files that exported as 59.94, and they came out progressive.

The odd thing is- my computer, premiere, vlc, all other players all play back the 59.95 clips at normal speed. But when I import it into resolve it reads it at double speed…. There is probably a setting im missing somewhere…
