7 Select “New (smaller)” or “Same (faster)” to specify the kind of file you want the Reverse
Telecine feature to create:
 New (smaller): Creates a new clip file that does not contain the extra frames
introduced by the 3:2 pull-down. The new file is about 20 percent smaller, but this
method is slower. Regardless of whether the original file was referencing or self-
contained, this method creates a self-contained file. See “
The Difference Between
Self-Contained and Referencing Clips ” on page 126 for more information.
 Same (faster): Modifies the current clip file so that the extra frames are not visible to
the editing system, but the data is not removed from the file. This process is faster,
but does not reduce the size of the file. The resulting file is self-contained if it was
originally self-contained, or referencing if it was originally referencing.
Note: This “Same (faster)” method is only available when the clip has been captured
or recompressed to have only one field per frame. This is because reversing the 3:2
pull-down for a clip with two fields per frame requires deinterlacing two different
frames, removing one field from each of those two frames, and then making a new
frame out of the other two fields. When new frames are being created, a new movie
file must be created.
∏
Tip: If you choose the “New (smaller)” method, the original file is no longer needed, but
it is not automatically deleted. A dialog suggests the name of the new file to be the
name of the original with the extension .rev. To delete the original file by replacing it
with the new one, remove the .rev extension in the dialog so that the new file has the
same name as the original.
8 From the “Conform to” pop-up menu, choose the frame rate that allows you to
maintain or restore audio/video sync.
