HOW DO I...

Add 3:2 pulldown to 720/24PN?


    Select option "Add pulldown"
    Drag in 720/24PN MXF file, press Start

Add 3:2 pulldown to 720/24PN and make 1080i60?


    Select option "Add pulldown"
    Select option "Convert all to 1920 x 1080"
    Drag in 720/24PN MXF file, press Start

Convert 720/25P or 720/50P to 720/24P?


    Set target frame rate to 23.976
    Select "Remove pulldown" if your source file is 720/50P
    Drag in 720/25P or 720/50P MXF file, press Start


Convert 1080i60 24P Advanced pulldown to normal 3:2 pulldown?


    Set option "Remove pulldown"
    Set target frame rate to 23.976
    Set option "Add pulldown"
    Set preference for "assume 2:3:3:2 pulldown"
    Set preference for "add 3:2 pulldown"
    Drag in 1080i60/24PA MXF file, press Start

    The opposite conversion is also possible by reversing the preferences selected.

Convert 1080i60 24P 3:2 pulldown to 720/24P?


    Set option "Remove pulldown"
    Set target frame rate to 23.976
    Set preference for "assume 3:2 pulldown"
    Select option "Convert all to 1280 x 720"
    Drag in 1080i60/24P MXF file, press Start

    24PA can also be removed and converted to 720/24PN by selecting "assume 2:3:3:2 pulldown".

Remove 3:2 pulldown to edit native 24P?

    Set option "Remove pulldown"
    Set target frame rate to 23.976
    Set preference for "assume 3:2 pulldown"
    Drag in 1080i60/24P or 720/24P MXF file, press Start

    Note that for 1080 line format, MXFX will generate a native 1080/24PN MXF file. This type of file is importable into an Avid 1080/23.976 project for example, but may not play back on the HVX200 camera.

Reduce noise in the image?


    Set option "Reduce Noise"
    You may set other rotate or pulldown add/remove features as desired
    Drag in MXF file, press Start

Rotate the image shot with a 35mm adaptor?


    Set option "Rotate 180"
    You may set other noise or pulldown add/remove features as desired
    Drag in MXF file, press Start

    Note: "Reduce Noise" is recommended when rotating a 1080-line format clip, otherwise the rotation will add approximately 1% noise. For 720-line formats, the rotation is accomplished without recompression and does not add any significant noise.
