Removing Advanced Pull-Down and Duplicate Frames
During Transfer
The Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames option in the Log and Transfer
window preferences allows you to remove redundant (duplicate) frames recorded in
variable frame rate DVCPRO HD 720p footage. You can also select this option to remove
advanced (2:3:3:2) pull-down from 29.97 fps footage such as 1080i and 480i, resulting in
23.98 fps (24p) footage on disk after ingest.
The Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder can record 24p footage on P2 cards using
three methods:
 Native 23.98 fps (no pull-down or extra frames)
 23.98 fps with standard 3:2 (2:3:2:3) pull-down
 23.98 fps with advanced (2:3:3:2) pull-down
Important: The Log and Transfer window cannot remove standard 3:2 pull-down. To
convert footage with 3:2 pull-down, you can ingest the media at 29.97 fps and then use
Cinema Tools to remove the pull-down.
For details about selecting this option, see “Setting Log and Transfer Import Preferences”
on page 95.
Working with Spanned Clips
A spanned clip is created any time you record a single shot that is larger than the
capacity of the current P2 card or when the file size exceeds 4 GB. When this happens,
the camcorder stops recording the current media file and begins recording a new
media file on a new P2 volume. The result is a single shot that seamlessly comprises
multiple media files.
Important: To ingest (or reingest) a spanned clip as a single media file, you need to
mount all of the P2 volumes necessary for the clip. Mounting separate P2 volumes at
different times may cause Final Cut Pro to capture only individual portions of a P2 clip
or prevent you from capturing partial portions when other P2 segments are missing.
