NTSC – PAL setup with Kona 3
Hello guys, I read some posts about converting pal to ntsc, but not sure if this actually make right and with good quality.
What I have:
A 30 minutes NTSC quictime clip:
2 FCP systems with AJA Kona 3 cards
A PAL Digibeta recorder (rented)What I need:
A final Digibeta PAL of the clipOption 1:
-Setup FCP and Kona Card as a PAL system 625i25
– Drag NTSC quicktime into PAL sequence
– Render
– Playback to Digi PAL
I’ll check my monitors looks fine on PAL, but the quiestion is ?Is this realy PAL Standar, or I’m only monitoring..
Option 2.. Go to the Ternanex …(but I’m just trying to help my client to save some money) 🙁
Any direction is more than welcome
Thanks
JC

No, this is a crappy FCP Render you’re monitoring. FCP itself cannot perform a standards conversion. Some say Compressor does a good job but we never use it. We use the Nattress Standards Converter for shot conversion, but not an entire show.
We send our material off to a Terranex conversion.
