Need to work with frames, regardless of time and speed.

Good morning, I'm an amateur film maker, reader of the forum but I have a question that I need to post.
I'm a bit familiar with Vegas, but I guess not enough.

I'm often in the need to assemble footage that has different frame-rate from 23 o 30 fps. It seems I have the choice between blurriness (mixture of two frames in a single one, it's the worst), or additional frames (one additional frame identical to the previous one) every 5 or 6 frame or so). I really dislike the blurriness, so I choose additional frames and spend hours to delete each additional frame on my footage and render a 30fps vidoe. It's a pain because I do that ounce the work is done, and It's hard to fill the gaps.

Is there a way to have Vegas "not to care about time" and instead caring about frames ? Meaning, considering only frames : One timeline segmant=, one frame, regardless of the speed. I don't mind if a 10 second 23fps is previewed and rendered as an 8 second or so footage, that's exactly what I need.

I would greatly appreciate any tip.

To quell the blurriness, try disabling the Resample int he medias with a different frame rate than the project frame rate.

I think that's the same. Disabling resampling AND changing framerate will add or delete frames, which gives a very choppy result, even worse than the blurriness.

The only way to get sharp and smooth framerate conversion in Vegas is the add at project framerate feature or buy twixtor plugin.

Although the add at project framerate feature preserves all frames, it has the disadvantage of changing the duration time of the media in the timeline.

I use twixtor to fix this.

The disadvantage of this methodology is the rendering times that increase significantly, but all the frames are preserved and the duration of the media does not change.

Yes, we know that. Read again the question: Need to work with frames, regardless of time and speed.
