- [Voiceover] Hi, this is Steve Wright welcoming you to this week's Nuke Nugget, Removing a Video 3:2 Pulldown. The frame rate for film is 24 frames per second, while the frame rate for video is 30, technically 29.97, but that's a detail. So there's a fundamental mismatch between the video and film frame rates. To solve this dilemma, four frames of film are stretched over five frames of video. You can see that up here in this graphic. Here's my four frames of film, A, B, C, and D. And they're going to be mapped into five frames of video. One, two, three, four, five. The way this is done is to use what's called the 3:2 pulldown technique. So frame A, the first frame of the film, is mapped to two fields of the first frame of video. Frame B of the film is stretched to three fields of video. So it takes up the first two fields of frame two and one field into frame three of the video. Then, frame C of the film is only two fields. One here at the end of frame three and over here at the…
