  Advanced pulldown –> Simple pulldown

  Posted by Andrew Gilmore on July 12, 2005 at 2:11 pm

  I have footage shot with 2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown. However, I plan on editing my project at 29.97 and incorporating other 29.97i sources such as archival material and other NTSC footage.

  As of now, I will be onlining the final master in 29.97 as well.

  Is simple pulldown mode best suited for my edit and should I shoot using 2:3:2:3 from now on?

  If so, how can I convert the footage I already shot so that it will have the 2:3 simple pulldown cadence and match the other native 24p 2:3 footage?

  Please advise. Thanks in advance.

  If you’re editing in a 29.97 timeline, then using regular 2-3 pulldown will give slightly smoother results. 2-3-3-2 (“advanced”) pulldown can still be used, it just isn’t quite as smooth as 2-3 pulldown (when viewed in a 29.97 timeline).

  If you’re using Sony Vegas, converting from 24PA to 24PN is instantaneous — just open a project in 29.97, and make sure “allow pulldown removal” is checked. When you put a 2-3-3-2/24PA file on the timeline, it will automatically, on-the-fly convert from 24PA to 24PN and give you the smoother pulldown.
