Modifying the Pulldown Phase Before Capturing
After you determine the correct pulldown phase (as described in Determining the Pulldown Phase) you can modify the pulldown phase before capturing in one of the following ways.
To modify the pulldown phase directly in the Pullin column:
1.  Enter Text view. For more information, see Using Text View.
2.  Click the cell that you want to modify.
3.  Click the cell again. The pointer changes to an I-beam.
4.  Type the pulldown phase and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
To modify the pulldown phase for multiple clips:
1.  Ctrl+click (Windows) or Shift+click (Macintosh) the clips you want to modify.
2.  Select Clip > Modify.
3.  Click the Modify Options pop-up menu, and select Pull-in.
4.  Select A, B, C, or D.
5.  Click OK.
The pullin for all selected clips is changed, based on the pulldown phase that you selected.
To modify the pulldown phase for multiple clips that have the same pulldown-to-timecode relationship:
1.  Ctrl+click (Windows) or Shift+click (Macintosh) the clips you want to modify.
2.  Select Clip > Modify Pulldown Phase.
The Modify Pulldown Phase dialog box opens.
3.  Select the correct pulldown phase for timecodes ending in 0 or 5 from the pop-up menu.
4.  Click OK.
The pulldown phase for each selected clip is changed, based on the pulldown phase you selected for 00:00:00:00.
  If you want to modify the pulldown phase after capturing, you must first unlink the clips. See Modifying the Pulldown Phase After Capturing.
  After you capture an NTSC transfer, the timecode shows a loss of every fifth frame of video. For example, don't be alarmed if you find that your timecode jumps at one point from 1:00:14:15 to 1:00:14:17. You haven't lost a frame, just an extra pulldown field.
