Monitoring Dual Timecodes and Pulldown

When you load 24p clips into the Player, the dual timecode and 2:3 pulldown monitoring options are enabled.

To view dual timecodes and 2:3 pulldown, you must:

  • View a 24p clip in a 29.97 fps frame rate project.
  • Ensure that the Display Dual Timecodes button is enabled in the Preferences menu, in the Timecode section of the General tab.

In the Player, the following settings appear:

Pulldown Frame Type display

Displays the corresponding pulldown frame type for the clip following pulldown insertion. This allows you to keep track of which transitions fall on jitter frames (video frames composed of two different film-based frames). 23.97 fps timecode uses a plus sign for the last punctuation mark, while 29.97 fps timecode uses a colon in non-drop frame mode, or a semi-colon in drop frame mode.

30 button

Enable to view the 29.97 fps timecode that corresponds with each frame in the 23.97 fps clip following pulldown insertion
