Apple Cinema Tools 4 - Manual (Page 224)

• If Cinema Tools is unable to complete the reverse telecine process for a clip, that clip
is moved into a Cinema Tools–created subfolder named Skipped. A clip is not processed
if it doesn’t contain a video track, if the frame rate is not supported, if the clip does not
contain cadence information, or if there is no codec found for the video track.
• A text file appears at the top level of the folder you started with, named “reverse.log.”
This log gives the date and time that the process started and ended, as well as a start
time for each clip. If any problems were encountered, such as running out of disk space
or memory, an error message describing the problem also appears in the log.
Pull-Down Patterns You Can Apply to 23.98 fps Video
When editing 23.98 fps video, you may want to output it to an NTSC monitor, record it
to an NTSC videotape, or send it to another type of NTSC device. When you need to do
this, you can use the pull-down addition feature in Final Cut Pro. Pull-down addition is a
software method of converting 23.98 fps video to the NTSC standard of 29.97 fps.
There are three pull-down patterns that Final Cut Pro can apply to 23.98 fps video.
