NTSC back to film (standard) Input is a movie in NTSC format (29.97 or 59.94 f/sec) that was obtained from 24p film by means of the telecine procedure.
You can recognize these movie as follows: a 29.97 fps movie has interlace in 2 frames, alternating with 3 frames without interlace. A 59.94 fps movie has a pattern of two identical frames alternating with 3 identical frames.
The redundant fields are removed and the result is 24p film.
Detect cadence breaks Check this if your movie has been edited and may consist of parts with different phase. A first pass will be made over the movie that finds the cadence breaks.
If you don't check this option the cadence is found from the start of the movie, which may fail if it starts with a few seconds of black or a still picture.
Interlaced scene changes are detected and removed.Make reference movies At each cadence break a new reference movie starts. This helps you find the original clips that make up the movie. However, some may not be found because they happen to have the same phase as the preceding clip. Reinterlace chroma after inverse telecine Sometimes the "reinterlace chroma" option in the input pane must be applied after inverse telecine.
Check this box if one in four frames of the output doesn't benefit from the reinterlace chroma procedure.NTSC back to PAL Input is a movie in NTSC format (480x720, 29.97 f/sec) that was obtained from PAL material by means of the telecine procedure (adding one field after every 5 fields).
The redundant fields are removed and the result is again PAL (a lot softer though after being scaled twice).
Initial phase A value between 1 and 6. The first field that must be removed.
Deinterlacing the start of the movie (both fields) may help you find the number. Else you may need to try all values on a short piece of the movie (including the start).
If you want to examine another part of the movie (containing a fast moving object) be sure to cut off a multiple of 3 frames and take into account that the phase jumps every 16 seconds.First phase jump 48 seconds of PAL produce 2400 x 6/5 fields = 3000 fields but only 2997 are needed. So every 16 seconds a field must be dropped.
Enter the time the first field was dropped. First find the correct initial phase, then find the point where the output becomes jerky.
Again, deinterlacing the result may help.PAL back to film Input is a movie in PAL format (usually 576x720, 25 f/sec) that was obtained from film material by means of a telecine procedure (duplicating one field after every 24 fields).
The redundant fields are removed and the result is film at 24 fps.
You need to enter the number (1-25) of the first of 12 interlaced frames.
It may be easier to save the movie in QT Player 7 at a first interlaced frame of 12 and press the "Use current movie time" button.
If you check "Output 23.976 fps" a special two-stage inverse telecine is performed which is appropriate for HDMI movies output by the DMC-GH2 camera from Panasonic (recorded with a capture card).
You may also want to increase saturation slightly to get closer to the MTS camera output.
