This takes quite a while whereas, in contrast, CinemaTools’ REVERSE TELECINE seems so quick and high quality (I know it’s doing the opposite).

I’m a bit worried that the workflow above is not only slow, but potentially more quality-invasive than necessary. …so I was wondering if there’s another way to preserve quality but quickly convert from 23.976p to 29.97i. Is this called “adding pull down” or “interlacing”?

One other thing, when exporting a Quicktime Movie to ProRes422HQ, I notice the “Interlaced” button (with a “Top Field First” or “Bottom Field First” menu). Does this only affect metadata, or does it actually do the interlacing?

Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks in advance for any help,
