  PAL media converted by fcp into NTSC sequence

  Posted by Jon Wetterau on March 7, 2008 at 7:29 pm

  I digitized PAL footage as PAL but edited it in a sequence set to NTSC. Can I trust this conversion or do I need to redigitize as NTSC?
  thx

  You can use compressor to do a standards conversion, or use the excellent Nattress plug-in. Doing what you suggest will not fix the differences in frame rate, and may cause scaling issues due to the different number of lines.

  Are you suggesting that I should go back and convert my PAL media to NTSC, then relink it to the stuff in my project timeline? Or are you saying I can export what I have for conversion?
