  Mixing PAL and NTSC in one project

  Posted by Ben Cooper on June 20, 2012 at 11:38 pm

  Hi

  I’m back for more help from you wonderful people.
  I have mixed footage for a video to edit.
  UK video and crew but for some reason the footage they supplied me has several NTSC clips in it.

  So the NTSC is:

  Shot on 550D

  Quicktime
  1280 x 720
  pixel depth 24
  frame rate 30
  Average data rate 9.1MB/sec
  pixel aspect ratio 1.0

  The PAL is:

  Also shot on 550D

  Quicktime
  1280 x 720
  Pixel Depth 24
  Frame Rate 25
  Av. Data Rate 7.5MB/sec
  Pixel aspect ratio 1.0

  And other PAL footage:

  Shot on XHA1

  MPEG movie
  1440 x 1080
  Pixel Depth 32
  Frame rate 25
  Av. Data Rate 3.2MB/sec
  Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.3333

  I’ve opened up a sequence to match the 550D PAL footage as this will be the majority of footage used and the final output will be PAL.
  What would you recommend I do to deal with the rest of the footage.
  Can I just drop clips straight to the timeline and work with them or should I ‘interpret’ the footage or something else before.
  They seem to play fine in the sequence and render but I just know there will be problems further down the line if I don’t get some advice first.

  Any help greatly appreciated.

  Yeah sorry.
  It’s PPro CS5 by the way.
