  • Audio from PAL to NTSC ?

    Posted by Matthew London on January 3, 2007 at 8:23 pm

    Hi,

    I have a PAL show that has been converted to NTSC (using an Alchemist PlatinumPh.C standards converter.) I recaptured from the NTSC tape back into FCP. Now I need to update the Audio track. If I import the same 16/44 audio track that I used in the PAL project, and line it up at the head of the NTSC sequence, should it synch perfectly across the whole show, or will I experience some out-of-synch/drift because of the conversion from 25fps to 29.97fps ?

    thanks

    Just export the audio from the original movie using QT. Export as an .aiff , 16b, 48 Khz. NOT 44.1, because FC works natively in 48Khz and even you can listen 44.1 in preview, it must be resampled to 48. With the .aiff you can forget about time-code issues and you can lie it down in any time-line without regarding the video format.
