Removing 2:3:3:2 pull-down with final cut pro, A b c d – Apple Cinema Tools 4 User Manual

• Unlike 3:2 pull-down removal, removing a 2:3:3:2 pull-down does not require the
recompression and re-creation of any frames, so it results in a better picture quality.
Final Cut Pro eliminates the redundant fields by simply pulling out the frames containing
fields with two different images (the frames that were constructed from two different
original frames). Only frames containing one still image are left, resulting in a clean
picture.
