How to convert NTSC to PAL

You can use Canopus Procoder 2 software, universal converter.

Procoder Express is much cheaper

Thanks! I’m not concerned about price… which is better?

After Effects can standards convert as well. There’s a tutorial on how to convert framerates.

For NTSC to PAL conversion either version will work, Procoder has more other functions, also like Dave mentioned if you have AFX it will also convert.

Thanks! All that helped a lot.

One more thing about this…

I tried to simply export the NTSC footage while choosing PAL in my export options and the output has great quality and shows that the exported clip is PAL 25fps… so I don’t understand why you can’t just do it this way? In premiere pro, just to export it as PAL… it seems to work… What am I missing here?

if it works, it works – nothin wrong in that, and it seems to be working for me, too, so thank you
