Capturing Video Without Pulldown into a 24p NTSC
Project
Film-to-tape transfers that are made without using pulldown can be captured directly into a 24p
project. This feature is useful when special effects are generated on a frame-to-frame basis to
tape, and need to be integrated into a 24p project.
Before capturing the footage, click the Film to Video Transfer menu in the Film and 24p Settings
dialog box, and select Video Rate. The Film-to-Video Transfer setting lets you specify the type
of film-to-tape transfer you are capturing. For more information, see “Capture-Related Settings
for Film and 24p Projects” on page 151.
