About the Frame Controls Pane
Using frame controls, you can do any of the following at levels of quality that were
previously available only through expensive hardware solutions:
• Convert video files between international television standards such as PAL to NTSC, or
NTSC to PAL.
• Downconvert high definition (HD) video sources to standard definition (SD), or upconvert
SD to HD.
• Convert a progressive stream to an interlaced one, or interlaced to progressive.
• Make high-quality frame rate adjustments, including high-quality slow-motion effects.
• Automatically remove telecine pull-down (reverse telecine).
The Advanced Format Conversions settings group in the Settings tab has particular
relevance to working with frame controls.
