reverse telecine

The process of removing telecine synchronization from video. Telecine is legacy method of transferring film footage shot at 24 frames per second (fps) to interlaced NTSC video (29.9 frames per second) or PAL video (25 frames per second) for broadcast television. However, because computers, HDTVs, 4K TVs, and other modern display devices support progressive frame rates (like 24 fps), it’s often desirable to remove the interlacing from telecined clips and restore the video to its original 24 fps rate. This process is known as reverse telecine.
