Note: This “Same (faster)” method is available only when the clip has been captured
or recompressed to have only one field per frame. This is because reversing the 3:2
pull-down for a clip with two fields per frame requires deinterlacing two different
frames, removing one field from each of those two frames, and then making a new
frame out of the other two fields. When new frames are being created, a new movie
file must be created.
Tip: If you choose the “New (smaller)” method, the original file is no longer needed, but
it is not automatically deleted. A dialog suggests naming the new file the same name as
the original, with the extension .rev added. To delete the original file by replacing it with
the new one, remove the .rev extension in the dialog so that the new file has the same
name as the original. Keep in mind, though, that if you delete the original file, you cannot
use reverse telecine a second time if you want to try a different setting.

From the “Conform to” pop-up menu, choose the frame rate that allows you to maintain
or restore audio/video sync:
• 23.98: This frame rate is useful if you want to later use the Final Cut Pro pull-down
feature that lets you output 23.98 fps video as 29.97 fps video. (See
You Can Apply to 23.98 fps Video
for more information.)
• 24.0: You may want to conform and edit the clips at this rate if you plan to include
them in a project that contains other clips that are exactly 24 fps.
Note: If the audio and video are contained in the same clip, and you choose 24.0 from
this pop-up menu, the Reverse Telecine feature increases the audio speed by a very
small percentage so that it is in sync with 24 fps instead of 23.98 fps.
Choose a frame rate.
Leave this checkbox

Leave the Standard Upper/Lower checkbox selected.
The Standard Upper/Lower checkbox should be selected unless you find that the reverse
telecine process does not produce the correct results. It is only relevant when both video
fields are captured; it has no effect if only one field was captured. See
for more information.

Click OK to start the reverse telecine process.
If you selected the “New (smaller)” file option, you are asked to give the new reversed
clip a name and location. If the original clip was connected to a database record, the new
reversed clip replaces its connection to the record (regardless of whether or not the new
clip overwrites the old clip).
