Modifying the Pulldown Phase After Capturing
287
To relink a sequence to the original clips:
1. Duplicate the sequence.
2. Create a new bin and move the sequence to the bin.
3. Locate the original clips. Look for a bin with the original clips, or use the Media tool to
locate the original clips.
For information on the Media tool, see “Using the Media Tool” on page 448.
4. Copy the clips to the bin that contains the duplicated sequence.
5. Select the sequence and the original clips.
6. Relink the clips by key number.
Modifying the Pulldown Phase After Capturing
If you have captured film-originated clips (NTSC transfer only) that seem to stutter, the
problem might be an incorrectly logged pulldown phase (the video frame at which the
master clip starts: A, B, X, C, or D). You log this pulldown phase in the “Pullin” column of a
bin. To solve the problem, you need to determine the correct pulldown cadence of the frame,
modify the clip information, and recapture the clip.

You can also determine the correct pulldown phase from the original tape. See “Entering
Pulldown Information” on page 154.
To check for an incorrect pullin frame:
1. Look for a section of the clip that includes a series of frames with motion.
2. Step through the clip frame by frame (using the Step buttons or another method) and
look for two frames that have no movement.
If the pattern is two frames of movement followed by two frames of no movement, the
pullin is incorrect.
To determine the correct pullin frame, use one of the following approaches:
t If the source footage includes burn-in code with the pulldown phase, go to the start of
the clip and look for the pulldown for the first frame.
t If you want to maintain the start timecode for each clip, review the original tape field by
field, using the procedure described in “Entering Pulldown Information” on page 154.
t If you do not need to maintain the start timecode:
a. Step through the clip frame by frame (using the Step buttons or another method).
Look for two frames that are identical (no movement).
b. Think of these frames as frames B and X of a four-frame series.
