    Mixing PAL and NTSC in one project

    Posted by Ben Cooper on June 20, 2012 at 11:38 pm

    Hi

    I’m back for more help from you wonderful people.
    I have mixed footage for a video to edit.
    UK video and crew but for some reason the footage they supplied me has several NTSC clips in it.

    So the NTSC is:

    Shot on 550D

    Quicktime
    1280 x 720
    pixel depth 24
    frame rate 30
    Average data rate 9.1MB/sec
    pixel aspect ratio 1.0

    The PAL is:

    Also shot on 550D

    Quicktime
    1280 x 720
    Pixel Depth 24
    Frame Rate 25
    Av. Data Rate 7.5MB/sec
    Pixel aspect ratio 1.0

    And other PAL footage:

    Shot on XHA1

    MPEG movie
    1440 x 1080
    Pixel Depth 32
    Frame rate 25
    Av. Data Rate 3.2MB/sec
    Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.3333

    I’ve opened up a sequence to match the 550D PAL footage as this will be the majority of footage used and the final output will be PAL.
    What would you recommend I do to deal with the rest of the footage.
    Can I just drop clips straight to the timeline and work with them or should I ‘interpret’ the footage or something else before.
    They seem to play fine in the sequence and render but I just know there will be problems further down the line if I don’t get some advice first.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Yeah sorry.
    It’s PPro CS5 by the way.
