  • PAL from NTSC Timeline

    Posted by Raymond Tuquero on August 22, 2008 at 10:33 pm

    I have a big Question … I know it is a conversion question.

    Well, I have some NTSC footage in my BIN and would like to bring it to a PAL TAPE.

    So, My associates and I have captured the footage,
    THEN created a PAL Timeline.
    Brought the footage in with the PAL settings.

    When we were done we exported the footage to a new Blank Tape on our Sony M15U deck.

    But when we play back the tape there are lots of little boxes (Anti-Aliased Boxes it seems) all over the screen.

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    We have a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2
    Sony M15U Deck
    Sony V1 as the Camcorder (doesn’t matter already shot footage)
    and using the Sony HDV Tapes.

    Your first step was correct, creating a PAL sequence and putting your NTSC movie in there, but you really need to add Nattress Standards converter to it. First you nest the movie then add the plugin, there’s a well in the controls into which you drag the original clip from the browser, render and you are correctly converted.

    Have a wonderful day.
