ajay bhutani's Answer
The general term used to describe committing motion picture film material to video. So named because a projector or telecine machine typically has a "pulldown claw" to advance the film one frame at a time past the gate, or window through which the projection beam or other light source passes. The most common pulldown procedure is called 3-2 (or 2-3) pulldown (q.v.) since for immediate broadcast, alternating film frames are scanned three times and twice respectively before the pulldown claw is activated. The slight slowing of a motion picture, video, or audio program for synchronizing purposes, or to cause it to run in the time allotted without editing of material. Pullup -- The slight speeding up of a motion picture, etc. for the purpose immediately preceding.
