Capturing Film-Based Media with 2:3 Pulldown Using EDLs
 
 
 

Most offline editing of film-based material transferred to 60i tape results in a 30 fps EDL. You can set up an auto-capture session using the 30 fps EDLs, applying 2:3 pulldown removal to both the EDLs and the captured clips.

By previewing the 30 fps EDL converted to 24 fps, you can identify splices that fall on hybrid frames—the result of the 60i offline edit—and, if necessary, edit the EDL prior to auto-capture.
