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 set the introduction of 3:2 pulldown using any of five different phases. For more information on 3:2 pulldown, see Removing 3:2 pulldown from video transferred from film.

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, select a phase.
4. Select other settings as appropriate, and then render.
