NTSC-PAL, FCP & Nattress
Hi,
I usually have no problem with Nattress Standards Conversion but I have a question about the field order.
Most of my clips are NTSC Uncompressed 8bit, that I need to convert to PAL Uncompressed 8bit. If I setup my timeline to PAL UFF and drag in my NTSC clip, FCP automatically add a Shift Fields -1, then I add the Nattress filter and choose LFF to UFF. Do both operations cancel the field change ? Should I leave the timeline to LFF and only use the filter to change it ?

Doesn’t FCP 6 simply do the conversion for you? i.e. I don’t think you’ll need to add Graeme’s filter on top of it.

Unfortunately, FCP 6 is still not that great when it comes to changing framerates.
I’d stick with Nattress’ , just kill the field shifter and tell Graeme’s filter what field dominance your source has.

That’s what I did.. and what Graeme suggested.
When going to DVD, I read that’s not so important to keep UFF for PAL DVD, supposed you keep the same all the way through, is it right ? I never took a chance, but never tested.

You only need to tell Compressor which field dominance your final product has, and every player out there should respect the flag it’ll insert.
