  • convert 24 fps to 30 fps for XDCAM export

    Posted by Paul Laroche on September 19, 2011 at 8:47 pm

    I am trying to creating an MXF file via XDCAM export, does this require video to be 30 fps? If so, how do I convert from 24 fps to 30 fps? Someone mentioned a 3:2 pulldown conversion. What is this?

    As for your 3:2 pulldown conversion. Here’s detailed info:

    Film runs at a rate of 24 frames per second, and video that adheres to the NTSC television standard runs at 30 frames a second. When film is converted to NTSC video, the frame rates need to be matched in order for the film-to-video conversion to take place. This process of matching the film frame rate to the video frame rate is called “3:2 pulldown.”
