  • Converting a NTSC Avid project to a PAL project

    Posted by Zilke1 on August 31, 2006 at 10:25 am

    Hi All,
    The posts and archives on this are not looking positive, but here goes..
    We’re getting 3 Avid NTSC prj from Canada and we’ll be finishing them here in the UK in PAL since the footage was originally shot in PAL.
    Is there any way of converting a NTSC Avid project to a PAL project? Even if it’s a ‘best case scenario’ just want to try and avoid weeks of eyematching, or at least minimise it.
    We’re running a Avid Express Pro HD, Symphony and a Symphony Nitris.
    Many thanks
    Zilke

    If you only need the sequence, create a 24 or 25 frame EDL and capture from the original PAL originated sources. This assumes it came from 24 frame sources which can have the 24TC as a common denominator.
