You
can remove 2:3 or 3:2 pulldown during the capture process, but PAL
and Advanced pulldowns are removed using the tools available on
the EditDesk.
NoteYou
can also use the Pulldown node to perform the same operations within
BatchFX. Use
the solution that best fits your needs.
Although you can remove
2:3 or 3:2 pulldown from film-based sources on 60i tapes during
the capture process, you can also capture the 60i sources as is,
and then remove pulldown on the EditDesk.
EditDesk-based removal
and insertion is also useful if your clips originate from the filesystem
and were imported rather than captured from tape. Image import and
export does not support pulldown removal.
To automatically detect and remove pulldown
on the EditDesk:
- From the Audio/Visual Tools box, select
Film.
- In the Film menu, click Rem Pulldown.
- From the Pulldown box, select Auto-detect.
- From the Timecode Mode box, select an
option.

start timecode of the result clip, without converting it.
|
| Same Start Frame |
Convert the original start timecode of the clip to the
new timecode mode, and then use the result timecode as the start timecode
for the result clip. For example, it converts
the 29.97 fps start timecode of a clip to 23.97 fps and then use
the result timecode as the start timecode for the result clip.

- Look closely at the clip, and scrub it
to find the first frame that immediately follows the jitter frames.
For example, in a clip
with standard pulldown, three smooth frames are followed by two
jittery frames. Find the frame that immediately follows two jitter
frames. In the example below, this is the rightmost D frame.
- To remove the pulldown, click the upper-left
corner of that frame.
