24p in 30p timeline

I recently purchased a Canon 7D and am trying to edit with iMovie 09. I would love to get Final Cut Pro but at the moment I just can't afford it. This is just a hobby of mine with no real plans of changing that in the near future. My question is, since iMovie 09 does not support 24p, would it be ok to shoot 24p, edit it in iMovie with a 30p AIC timeline? Will this keep the same look of 24p? I guess this is a 3:2 pulldown when you import 24p footage? Will the sync be ok?


Thanks.

There is an exact procedure you must follow to input 1080p24 and export 1080p24. Google "The Ins and Outs of iMovie 09." you cant record 1080p24 with toast for BD. but you can export to h264 and play on a WDTV. Thats whar i do wit 1080p24 from my Pana AVCHD camcorder.
