Before converting any footage files, go to the "Process" menu and choose "Options". Raylight has the capability to remove/strip out 24PA Advanced Pulldown from 1080i/24PA clips or 480i/24PA clips (note: it cannot remove 2:3 pulldown from 1080i/24P or 480i/24P). For working with 1080i/24PA or 480i/24PA it is recommended to always remove the pulldown. That way you can edit the footage on a 24P timeline, and never have to encounter "interlaced frames" or pulldown. Raylight can also remove redundant frames from 720/60P clips. If you have shot using variable frame rates on a FireStore FS-100, this option will allow you to convert those variable-frame-rate clips into true overcranking/undercranking .AVI files. If your footage was shot in 24pN or 30pN mode, this setting will have no effect - in 24pN or 30pN mode, duplicate frames have already been removed during recording. But for footage that has been recorded using the "Over 60" modes, Raylight can strip out duplicate frames, making the resulting .AVI file require less space on your hard disk. The process of converting your footage from MXF files into AVI files will take time, and it will take hard disk space. A Raylight conversion to MXF files runs at faster than realtime rates, and the new .AVI will be slightly larger than the source .MXF file. You must also tell Raylight where to place the newly-created .AVI files; by default Raylight will store the files in the same directory where the MXF video files are found. It is recommended that you always specify a new directory for the output footage, especially for footage that's still on a P2 card. You should use the "User selects output folder" checkbox and path to specify a new output directory so that Raylight will put all the created footage in your selected directory. In the "Configure Raylight" dialog box, Raylight offers two ways to convert the footage: either as "self-contained AVI" or not.

Before converting any footage files, go to the “Process” menu and choose “Options”.
Raylight has the capability to remove/strip out ²4PA
Advanced Pulldown from ±080i/²4PA clips or 480i/²4PA
clips (note: it cannot remove ²:3 pulldown from
±080i/²4P or 480i/²4P).
For working with ±080i/²4PA
or 480i/²4PA it is recommended to always remove the
pulldown.
That way you can edit the footage on a ²4P
timeline, and never have to encounter “interlaced
frames” or pulldown.
Raylight can also remove redundant frames from
7²0/60P clips.
If you have shot using variable frame
rates on a FireStore FS-±00, this option will allow you
to convert those variable-frame-rate clips into true
overcranking/undercranking .AVI files.
If your footage
was shot in ²4pN or 30pN mode, this setting will have
no effect – in ²4pN or 30pN mode, duplicate frames
have already been removed during recording.
But for
footage that has been recorded using the “Over 60”
modes, Raylight can strip out duplicate frames, making
the resulting .AVI file require less space on your hard
disk.
The process of converting your footage from MXF files
into AVI files will take time, and it will take hard disk
space.
A Raylight conversion to MXF files runs at faster
than realtime rates, and the new .AVI will be slightly
larger than the source .MXF file.
You must also tell
Raylight where to place the newly-created .AVI files;
by default Raylight will store the files in the same
directory where the MXF video files are found.
It is
recommended that you always specify a new directory
for the output footage, especially for footage that’s
still on a P² card.
You should use the “User selects
output folder” checkbox and path to specify a new
output directory so that Raylight will put all the created
footage in your selected directory.
In the “Configure Raylight” dialog box, Raylight offers two ways to convert the footage: either as “self-contained AVI” or
