3:2 Pull-Down
3:2 pull-down is the same type employed by a telecine. See Working with NTSC Video
for more information. Because 3:2 pull-down is the conventionally supported pull-down
pattern for NTSC devices, you need to use this pull-down pattern to record to an NTSC
device, such as an SD television, an MPEG-2 encoding device, or a high-end finishing
system.

2:3:3:2 Pull-Down
Another type of pull-down you can use is 2:3:3:2 pull-down. As with 3:2 pull-down, the
“3” in the pattern represents three fields, where one redundant field is added to the
original two fields of a frame. See Working with 2:3:3:2 Pull-Down for details about this
pattern and the advantages it provides.
Although 3:2 pull-down is the conventionally supported pattern for NTSC devices, you
may want to use 2:3:3:2 pull-down to output video that you can record to tape and yet
later convert back to 23.98 fps with the advantages of 2:3:3:2 removal (the ability to
remove the pull-down without the recompression and re-creation of any frames).
