[Shane Ross] "Don't do it. If you are trying to convert your 23.98 sequence to a 29.97 sequence, you do that either by outputting via a capture card, or exporting a full res movie, and using COMPRESSOR to convert...the FULL movie. Not the clips."
If I understand the original post correctly, I think he's got 23.98 footage that was edited into a 29.97 sequence, and he's trying to rebuild that sequence as 23.98. In other words, the mistake you're trying to warn him against was already committed, and he's trying to clean up the mess.
And yes, the way to do this is indeed to copy the footage into a 23.98 sequence and then either extend or move clips to close the resulting gaps. (Which are normal, presumably a consequence of clip durations that round to frame numbers a different way in a different timebase.)
