196 Chapter 11 Working With 24P Video and 24 fps EDLs
Adding Pull-Down to 23.98 fps Video
Final Cut Pro lets you add pull-down to 23.98 fps video as you output it via FireWire. As
discussed in the previous section, this is useful when you are editing 23.98 fps video
and want to output it to an NTSC device.
To add pull-down back in while sending 23.98 fps video to an NTSC device
via FireWire:
1 In Final Cut Pro, select the sequence.
2 In the Playback Control tab of the Sequence Settings window, choose a pull-down
pattern from the Pulldown Pattern pop-up menu.
See “ Pull-Down Patterns You Can Apply to 23.98 fps Video ” on page 194 for details on
the available patterns.
3 Output the video using your FireWire connection.
Refer to the Final Cut Pro documentation for details on outputting video.
The pull-down is performed on the video that is sent out of your computer via FireWire.
Using Audio EDLs for Double System Sound
As with film productions, 24P video productions almost always record the audio
separately from the picture, with a separate audio recorder. This is referred to as using
double system sound. This audio is often simultaneously recorded onto the videotape of
the 24P VTR, making it easy to later capture both the video and audio, with the audio
already synced to the video for the edit.
