Thank you all for all the great info guys! When I get the chance I will test out the ideas, however I really don't plan on using that camera again... Also, the loop did not snap back into place - the rest of my footage (last two/three shots) all had that issue. I'm glad that my editor found a way to cut around it, although those shots would really tie the scene better.
Since it is a technical issue, I'm assuming that there is no real way to reduce the pull-down effect in post... unless someone knows of a method?
Thanks again!
