Pulldown Node

Use the Pulldown node to remove or add pulldown to a clip.

The Pulldown node accepts a front clip as input.

The Pulldown node supports the following:

- 2:3 pulldown, also known as standard pulldown
- 2:3:3:2 pulldown, also known as advanced pulldown
- 24-to-25 fps conversion, also known as PAL pulldown

When removing pulldown, you can analyse the clip to automatically detect the type of pulldown and the A frame. If the analysis fails to determine the type of pulldown or the location of the AA frame, manually set the Pulldown and A Frame Location options.
