Setting the Pulldown Phase
To set the pulldown phase:
1. Determine the correct pulldown phase for 00:00:00:00 in one of the following ways:
t If you capture film-to-tape transfers, check the transfer log.
t If you capture tapes that have been downconverted from 1080p/24, check what
pulldown frame was set for 00:00:00:00 on the deck that performed the conversion.
t If you still cannot determine the pulldown phase, see “Determining the Pulldown Phase”
on page 152.
2. Double-click Film and 24p in the Settings list of the Project window.
3. Select Set Pulldown Phase of Timecode 00:00:00:00 and then click the menu, and select the
correct pulldown phase (A, B, X, C, D).
4. Click OK.
Film-Related Log Information
Once you enter or import the basic log information into a bin, you might want to add film-related
log information before you capture.
The following are some important requirements for film-based projects:
• The minimum information required for capturing is the data recorded in the Start and End
video timecode columns, and the pulldown phase for NTSC transfers, which is noted in the
Pullin column (24-fps capture only).
• You can log each reel of film as a separate clip, which corresponds to a single master clip,
only if the video transfer of the film reel has continuous pulldown (NTSC format), and
continuous timecode (NTSC and PAL). If the film reels for your project do not meet this
condition, then you must log each take on a reel of film as a separate clip, which corresponds
to a single master clip.
If you log each reel as a separate clip, you can use the F1 and F2 keys to create subclips for
each take. See “Creating Subclips While Capturing” on page 257.
• If you want to produce a cut list, or use film-tape-film-tape to recapture, you must log key
numbers. You can add key numbers after you capture, before you create the cut list.
• All film and video reference numbers must be in ascending order.
• Continue to log additional film data into the Labroll, Camroll, Soundroll, Scene, and Take
columns, or into your own custom columns, as necessary. You can include the information in
these columns on the cut lists you create for your edited sequence.
