pal avi to ntsc
Posted by Rbfineline on November 7, 2005 at 10:21 pmWe recently had a company in Pakistan shoot some video for us. They sent it over on a hard drive as Pal AVI. What do I need to convert this to a useable FCP format?

November 8, 2005 at 3:16 amIf the AVI won’t playback in QT, check out this page for some further advice:

I’ve been struggling with the reverse – NTSC to PAL.
After converting in QT to .mov, it will playback in FCP, but mine was jerky due to it still being NTSC in a PAL timeline. You might use one of the many filters out there for FCP to convert standards.
