Preparing the Source Clips for Editing
 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 “
Patterns You Can Apply to 23.98 fps Video
” on page 194 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.

Leave the “Standard upper/lower” checkbox checked.
The “Standard upper/lower” checkbox should be checked unless you find that the
reverse telecine process does not produce the correct results. It is only relevant when
both video fields are captured, and has no effect if only one field was captured. For
more information, see “
Checking Your Reverse Telecine Results

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).
Note: Occasionally there are clips with average frame durations that are longer than
they should be. This situation can cause the Reverse Telecine feature to report one or
more dropped frames, when in fact there are not any. If you see this message, try using
the Conform feature, described in “
” on page 111, to conform
the clip to 29.97 fps before starting the reverse telecine process again. The Conform
feature ensures that all the frames are the same length.
Leave this checkbox
checked.
