IVTC Film and PAL

[Ole Kristiansen]

Your camera has 2 different system frequencies! NTSC 60Hz and PAL 50Hz! You have chosen PAL 50Hz – because you live in a country where you use 50Hz !

Now you set your camera to PAL video mode/system frequency ! in PAL video mode – you can record 24fps it is 24Hz and 25, 50fps named PAL !

If you like the look of 24fps – then use it – Vegas will not list it as PAL because it is 24Hz !

Hi John

NTSC stand for National Television System Committee and this system is used in countries that have an electrical grid that is supplied with 120V at 60Hz. (see this link for the list of countries that use NTSC) Frame rate is typically 29.97 fps. (half of 60Hz) and multiples of it.

PAL stands for Phase Alternating Line and this system is used in countries that have an electrical grid that is supplied with 220V at 50Hz. (see this link for the list of countries that use PAL) Frame rate is typically 25 fps. (half of 50Hz) and multiples of it.

Now, what about 24 fps. That is a whole different story. It was for the longest time the standard for film. Best you read these very well written articles about the history of it on top of the one recommended by Mike Kujbida.
