3:2 pull down?

[Josh.Dallagiacomo]

I am having issues getting 3:2 pull down working for video for a DVD.  After I export my video at 23.976 from Premier Pro and bring it into TotalCode Studio I pick the DVD Preset and I end up with the video at 59.940 after encoding and not 29.97 (See attached pic) and I can't seem to adjust any of the advanced settings.

Hello Josh,

You need to set some settings a certain way to get this to work. I also attached a custom preset for this case, but you can do it manually.

What you should set in the settings:

1. Selected Framerate: 23.98p -> 59.94i PD
2. Aspect ratio: 16:9
3. Set Variable bitrate as you did

Then, in the Video Encoder's advanced settings (Ctrl+Shift+A or wrench icon) set additional settings in the Basic Settings tab:

4. Uncheck Progressive Sequence
5. Select Picture Structure: Progressive Frame
6. Telecine / Pulldown: 2:3

That's it. I have attached screenshots of the selected settings. This way you will get the output stream 23.98p 2:3 Pulldown.
