Set Pulldown Phase option in the Film and 24P Settings dialog box
You set this relationship when you select the pulldown phase (sometimes called the pulldown
frame or pullin frame), which is the video frame at which the master clip starts. The pulldown
phase is designated A, B, X, C, or D. Film labs and transfer houses typically use the A frame to
start the transfer.
The illustration shows the relationship between film frames and video frames.
