  • HDV pal to Ntsc for edit

    Posted by Paul Gregory on May 22, 2011 at 10:44 am

    Hi all this is my first post although I have used and leaned a lot from CC before.
    I need some advice on a project I have been asked to do. I am capturing footage on a Sony FX7 in HDV pal and I need to send the clips to the USA for editing I am using final cut pro and am asking what the best file format to send. I think the final edit will be for the web but it may be outputed to DVD as well.

    Thanks
    Paul

    You can convert with compressor with marginal results.
    Nattress has a pug-in that I read good things about.
    Maybe include the PAL clips with the new NTSC clips as another option for the receivers.

    You capture the footage off the camera via FW.
