What is 3:2 pulldown?

0

The process of mathing the fram rate of film to the fram rate of video. Long Description: The process of matching the frame rate of film (24 frames per second) to the frame rate of video (30 frames per second). In 3:2 pulldown, one frame of film is converted to three fields (1-1/2 frames) of video, and the next frame of film is converted to two fields (1 frame) of video. THis process is repeated (yielding 3 fields of video, 2 fields, 3 fields, 2 fields…) until the film is fully converted to a video of approximately the same length (duration). Most scan doublers, quadruplers, and scalers use the premise that two fields of video equal one frame, but video created via 3:2 pulldown does not follow that pattern.
