2 - Use Remove Advanced Pulldown command in Final Cut Pro or Cinema Tools after capture or ingest.
3 - Enable Advanced Pulldown Removal option during capture (tape) or ingest (P2).
4 - Use Frame Rate Converter (audio and timecode are removed).
For more information about frame rates, see “Using the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter.”
