Importing Media” in the Fusion Studio Reference Manual or Chapter 55, “Image
Processing and Color Management” in the DaVinci Resolve Reference Manual.
Custom Pixel Aspect
This control is visible only when Custom is selected from the Pixel Aspect menu. Enter the
desired X and Y aspect or right-click on the control to display a menu of common frame formats
and their aspects.
Import Mode
This menu provides options for removing pull-up from an image sequence. Pull-up is a
reversible method of combining frames used to convert 24 fps footage into 30 fps. It is
commonly used to broadcast NTSC versions of films.
 Normal: This passes the image without applying pull-up or pull-down 2:3.
 Pull Up: This removes existing 3:2 pull-down applied to the image sequence,
converting from 30 fps to 24 fps 2:3.
 Pull Down: The footage has pull-down applied, converting 24 fps footage to 30 fps by
creating five frames out of every four. The process mode of a Loader set to Pull Down
should always be Full Frames.
First Frame
This menu appears when the Import Mode is set to either Pull Up or Pull Down. It is used to
determine which frame of the 3:2 sequence is used as the first frame of the loaded clip.
Detect Pull-Down Sequence
This button is used to detect and set the pull-up sequence of the footage automatically. It only
works if Pull-Up or Pull-Down is first selected from the Import Mode menu. If it succeeds in
detecting the order, the First Frame control automatically sets to the correct value.
Make Alpha Solid
When enabled, the original Alpha channel of the clip is cleared and set to solid white
(completely opaque).
Invert Alpha
When enabled, the original Alpha channel of the clip is inverted. This may also be used in
conjunction with Make Alpha Solid to set the Alpha to pure black (completely transparent).
Post-Multiply by Alpha
Enabling this option causes the color value of each pixel to be multiplied by the Alpha channel
for that pixel. This option can be used to convert subtractive (non-premultiplied) images to
additive (premultiplied) images.
Swap Field Dominance
When enabled, the field order (dominance) of the image is swapped, so the order in time the
fields appear is reversed. Unlike the Process Mode control, this is done without spatially
swapping the scanlines in the image
