Convert NTSC to PAL
Is there a way to convert systems in FCP, for instance NTSC footage to PAL?
If not, what’s the best way to do it?
Thanks a lot! -

There are “Advanced conversions’ in compressor 2 that will do this. or https://www.nattress.com has a dandy standards converter.

what does the footage look like in playback using this?
i have been doin a lot of NTSC to PAL lately with animation, and the best solution i could come up with wa to render the final movie out of an After Effects project set with PAL settings. The truck ins and camera moves were a problem, as the dropped frames became obvious, so i rendered these with frame blending on. this fixes the camera movs, however, its not ideal for fast movement. looks a little like slight morion blur.

As Jerry said Natress do a very good value standards conversion filter that I’ve actually used myself, one word of warning though, due to everything the filter has to do it is VERY time consuming, from what I can remember you’re looking at a ratio of 1 to about 11, so a 60 minute programme is going to take around 11 hours to convert, the results though, for the price asked, can’t be faulted.
It’d be so much easier with two mouse buttons!

I’d think that it should look a lot better than your AE method…
