When film and video collide - the 3-2 pulldown

May 10, 2012

  • How transfer 24 frame material to a 30 medium?

  • Three-two pulldown: transfer a third video field of every second film frame, thus alternately transferring two video fields of one film frame and then three fields of the next film frame

  • Can cause a world of complications, including the need to pulldown (slow down) synchronous sound by .1%, since NTSC video is not truly 30 fps, but rather 29.97 fps!

  • Flex files interconnect timecode with keycode
