Take the clip at left - its correct
3:2 Pulldown would be the
WSSWW pattern (one whole,
two split, two whole).
Sometimes you'll have movie
clips with pre-edited film or HD
footage with different 3:2
Pulldown patterns per shot on
the same clip. Or, if the movie
clip simply doesn't have an
obvious 3:2 pattern for After
Effects to calculate, you'll have
to manually set the pulldown.
Use the same technique
described earlier to determine
Field Order (Part 1 - Separate
Fields) as to derive your correct
3:2 Remove.
Begin by selecting the first
pattern (WSSWW), then
examine the frames
sequentially in the Footage
Window (Alt
double-click the
file, then press PgDn or PgUp) to look for any interlaced frames. If you find any,
return to the 3:2 Remove drop-down menu in the Fields and Pulldown dialog,
then change the process to SSWWW. Do this until interlaced frames can no
longer be seen in the Footage Window - that is, in the segment of footage you
are using. This brings us to the issue of Duplicate Imported clips.
The Case for Duplicate Imported Clips
When you consider the many ways movie clips (or other resources) can be used,
you'll come to realize that you'll probably have a use for multiple copies of the
same imported clips, each with different Interpret Footage settings. Whether you
have a movie clip with different shots, each with different 3:2 Pulldowns, or you
have a 3D generated logo that was rendered in fields, but you need to freeze on
