# Capturing Material from Tapes with Inconsistent 2:3 Pulldown

If a 60i tape contains film-based material that was transferred to the tape in different sessions, it is possible that the 2:3 pulldown from one session to the next is not consistent. If your 30 fps EDL refers to material across different sections of the tape with different 2:3 pulldown, you will be unable to capture with automatic 2:3 removal configured for the entire tape. Setting a reference frame for the tape would properly capture the section you referenced, but not others. Instead, you can capture the clips as is, then remove the pulldown on the EditDesk. See Removing and Inserting Pulldown on the EditDesk. You can also change the reference frame at each capture, and capture multiple times.
