Working with NTSC Video

The original frame rate of NTSC video was exactly 30 fps. When color was added, the rate

had to be changed slightly, to the rate of 29.97 fps. The field rate of NTSC video is 59.94

fields per second. NTSC video is often referred to as having a frame rate of 30 fps, and

although the difference is not large, it cannot be ignored when transferring film to video

(because of its impact on audio synchronization, explained in Synchronizing the Audio

with the Video).

Another issue is how to distribute film’s 24 fps among NTSC video’s 29.97 fps.

The most common approach to distributing film’s 24 fps among NTSC video’s 29.97 fps

is to perform a 3:2 pull-down (also known as a 2:3:2:3 pull-down). If you alternate recording

two fields of one film frame and then three fields of the next, the 24 frames in 1 second

of film end up filling the 30 frames in 1 second of video.

Note: The actual NTSC video frame rate is 29.97 fps. The film frame rate is modified to

23.98 fps in order to create the 3:2 pattern.

As shown above, the 3:2 pattern (actually a 2:3:2:3 pattern because frame A is recorded

to two fields followed by frame B recorded to three fields) repeats after four film frames.

Virtually all high-end commercials, movies, and non-live television shows use this process

prior to being broadcast.
