  • Re-introducting Pulldown in After Effects

    I’m new to After Effects, and I read that you can re-introduce Pulldown to 24pa footage. How would I go about doing this in AE? Here’s my situation..

    I have a feature length film shot in 24pa on the DVX. We removed the pulldown while digitizing and from what I understand, when printing back to tape (DVCAM) we need to reintroduce the pulldown.

    From what I understand FCP does this for you when printing to tape, however, when I start to print to tape, frames are being dropped. I believe this is beacuse I am running all my footage from an external hard drive, and because my computer can’t proccess fast enough.

    I have been told that I can export a lossless quicktime file out of FCP and re-introduce the pulldown in After Effects- then bring it back into FCP and then hopefully, I won’t have any problems printing to tape from there.

    Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks

    I introduce 3:2 when using the magic bullet. It is in the render settings. you have to render out fields, then you can select to add 3:2 to your footgae. I’m not sure which you should add….for magic bullet it is the last one in the list.
