removing 3/2 for film editing project
How do I remove the 3/2 pull down while I’m capturing video via decklink extreme for a film project that I want to edit in and generate edl’s in 24fps? Can this be done on the fly while capturing?
I’ll be capturing from DBC NTSC 29.97 and editing in Final Cut Pro 5 on a Mac G5 w/OS 10.4. I plan to do a negative cu and master back to film.

I don’t know if it can be done in real time. I’ve been removing pulldown in after effects. Interpret the captured shot to identify the pulldown, then do a timestretch of 80% and you’ll output at 29.97 video with all the dummy frames removed. Then import that clip into the editor and interperet it to play back at 24. It is a real pain but works.

It can be done. There are Easy Setups for it (“Blackmagic NTSC 23.98hz – 10 bit” is one of them). It will only work if the cadance does not change and if it is correctly matched up with the VITC timecode (the A frame falls on 00 frames, I think). A properly mastered feature should be fine.
Keep in mind, if you do this, you cannot batch re-capture selected clips via Media Manager later on. So take in everything at full quality before you start editing.

Hi,
If your cadence (A frame) doesn’t start on frame 00, you can change that in the Blackmagic DeckLink Preferences.
