Appendix B Working with a Film Project

- With 2:3 pulldown: Select this option when working with 24-fps
footage that has been transferred to 30 fps by duplicating frames
(pulldown), and the audio has been synchronized to the picture.
If you are digitizing sound that has been created during an NTSC film-
to-tape transfer, you need to set the pulldown switch before you begin
digitizing.
For NTSC projects, you can mix footage transferred with pulldown
and footage transferred without pulldown (video rate). You can also
mix sound transferred at 0.99 (with pulldown) and 1.00 (without
pulldown).
• (PAL only) You define the Audio Transfer Rate in the New Project
dialog box when you create a 24p PAL film project. (It is not needed
for a 25p PAL project because there is no film speedup during the
transfer.) It is important to keep the audio transfer rate constant for the
project. However, if there is a specific element you need to digitize at a
different rate, you can use the Film Setting dialog box to change the
rate. The following options are available:
- Film Rate (100%): Select this option when your 24-fps film
footage has been transferred MOS to 25 fps by speeding up the
film, and the audio comes in separately at 100% of the actual
speed (PAL Method 2).
- Video Rate (100%+): Select this option when your 24-fps film
footage has been transferred to 25 fps by speeding up the film, and
the audio is synchronized to the video picture. This means the
audio speed is increased by 4.1 percent (PAL Method 1).
For PAL 24p projects, you can mix audio that has been transferred at
4.1 percent speedup (video rate, PAL Method 1) with audio that has
not been transferred (film rate, PAL Method 2). However, Avid does
not recommend this. For more information, see the editing guide for
your Avid editing system.

The Info tab in the Project window allows you to view the audio transfer
rate you selected when you created the project. The actual audio transfer
rate might be different from the display if you used the Film Setting dialog
box to change the audio transfer rate.
