Preparing video transferred from film

At about 4 seconds, the house fades away and a funeral scene takes its place against the sky. In this section, you will import film footage that has been transferred to video, and explore how to prepare the footage.

Because the film was transferred to videotape, 24-fps film footage was converted to 30-fps videotape by using a process called 3:2 pulldown, which compensates for the discrepancy between the frame rate of film (24 fps) and the frame rate of video (approximately 30 fps). For more information on 3:2 pulldown, see the After Effects User Guide.
