Set Pulldown-to-Timecode Relationship allows you to set a default
pulldown phase for a 23p or 24p NTSC project. See “Determining the
Pulldown Phase” on page 177.
Setting the Pulldown Phase
If you are logging or digitizing 24-fps sources (film-to-tape transfers,
media downconverted from 1080p/24 footage, or both), you can set the
pulldown-to-timecode relationship for a transferred tape in the Film
Setting dialog box.

The information in this section only applies to NTSC projects.
You set this relationship by selecting the pulldown phase (sometimes
called the pulldown frame or pullin frame), which is the video frame at
which the master clip starts. The pulldown phase is designated A, B, X, C,
or D. Film labs and transfer houses typically use the A frame to start the
transfer.
The following illustration shows the relationship between film frames and
video frames.
