Introducing 3:2 pulldown

If you are creating output for film that's been transferred to video or if you want to simulate a film look for animation, use 3:2 pulldown. Footage items that were originally film transferred to video and had 3:2 pulldown removed when imported into After Effects can be rendered back to video with 3:2 pulldown reintroduced. You can introduce 3:2 pulldown by choosing one of five different phases. (See Removing 3:2 or 24Pa pulldown from video transferred from film or DV cameras.)

Note: It is important to match the phase of a segment that had 3:2 pulldown removed if it will be edited back into the video footage it came from.

To introduce 3:2 pulldown:

1. In the Render Queue window, select the render item and then click the underlined Render Settings name.
2. For Field Render, choose a field order.
3. For 3:2 Pulldown, choose a phase.
4. Select other settings as appropriate, and then render.
