New harddrive in macbook but wich ??
Hi
I am about to invest in a Panasonic G2 in the state, BUT i live in europe where PAL system is normal. Now I cant really figure out if that is a potential problem with working in FCP. Sorry but the question is propably a bit noob, but I hope someone can help.
If i check the US model specs i get the following specs:
Motion Image (AVCHD Lite) NTSC: [HD] 1280 x 720, 60p (sensor output is 30fps)(SH: 17Mbps, H: 13Mbps, L: 9Mbps
In the european model I get the following specs:
Motion Image (AVCHD Lite: NTSC) [HD] 1280 x 720, 60p (sensor output is 30fps)(SH: 17Mbps, H: 13Mbps, L: 9Mbps)
Motion Image (AVCHD Lite: PAL) [HD] 1280 x 720, 50p (sensor output is 25fps)(SH: 17Mbps, H: 13Mbps, L: 9Mbps)Would you think that could create problems for a european ?? getting the NTSC model ?
Best wishes

With the US model you don’t get any compatibility with European PAL.
You can get it work with various frame rate / format conversions, that lose some of its original quality and take lots of time in post, but it’ll be an absolute pain.
If you’re producing for the European market buy a PAL format camera, (that by the specs you show will also shoot native NTSC).

Hi
Thanks a bunch for that reply. I can see that the headline is incorrect, a bit of a cache problem :0).
