PAL to NTSC conversion?

[Trinity Greer]

Goto https://www.nattress.com/ and buy his standards converter. Works great at a great price. $100us is cheaper than doing at a post house. Email him with issues I am sure he would address any reasonable concerns you have.

are there any other solutions? it looked like a very cumbersome method of using the filter. how is it applied? if i purchase it, how soon do i get it? i need to fix this problem asap/now.

Create a circle with these three terms–BETTER, FASTER, CHEAPER–at 0 degrees, 120 degrees and 240 degrees. Draw a vector from the center of your circle to each terms.

You can pick one or two, but not all three. The resultant vector of any two choices will be a compromise of those two.

Welcome to the empirical world…

PS Buy Nattress’s plug-in and have all the time or go to a posthouse and give them your money for a PAL to NTSC dub. Or spend anywhere from $2500 to $10000 for a realtime standards converter peice of broadcast terminal equipment.

Don’t worry Mr. B. I have a cunning plan…

Using the Nattress filter is a very cumbersome method if there’s alot of clips involved (my situation). But I guess I have no other option right now….

Bryce:

Your response to Phillip was a little snarky. He’s just looking for some assistance with an issue, and I know that he is well aware of the FREE-PERFECT-NOW rule. He probably has a nasty producer-type hanging over his shoulder pressing him to resolve the issue.

If you want to entertain yourself by mocking people who are frustrated that is your choice, but I say give the poor fellow the benefit of the doubt. If you don’t have some honest and helpful response to his question about the complexity of using the suggested plugin then don’t waste his time responding in such a fashion.

I wish it wasn’t so, but there’s limits with what you can do inside FCP, and the Standards Conversion plugin goes up and over what was though possible.

All I can suggest is that you look at the tutorial movies here for it’s operation:

And either post here, or email me if you have any issues.

phillr – Looks very complicated and cumbersome to convert all the footage we have. Plus it costs money, unless someone’s able to lend it to me…

You have got to be kidding “Plus it costs, unless someone’s able to lend it to me…”. This is a very pointed mindset and on some forums he would have had his post deleted. Dancing warez are spinning above my head. If genuinely said this in good humor, I stand corrected–phillr?

…uh…where in this are there no alternatives.
Bryce – PS Buy Nattress’s plug-in and have it–missing word correction–all the time or go to a posthouse and give them your money for a PAL to NTSC dub. Or spend anywhere from $2500 to $10000 for a realtime standards converter piece–spelling typo correction–of broadcast terminal equipment.

phillr – I’ve been looking at the Nattress filter. Looks very complicated and cumbersome to convert all the footage we have. Plus it costs money, unless someone’s able to lend it to me…
Maybe he was genuinely stressed for success, but it sounded like he walked into this forum with an attitude.

If Grasshopper had recieved the suggestion from Trinity Greer instead of phillr – “it looked like a very cumbersome method of using the filter.”, perhaps I would have been a little more forgiving trying to watch Grasshopper snatch the pebble from the Zen master’s hand.

Cheers,

I know. He needs to snatch the pebble from a Shaolin Priest.
