  • Problem while exporting

    Posted by Himanshu Bhatnagar on September 2, 2011 at 12:36 pm

    Hello,

    I’m facing a weird a problem. I’m trying to export a 15 sec clip from FCP project but the output I’m getting is more than 15 sec. It adds some some slug on its own.

    I have also tried exporting with mark-in and outs but still the same result.

    Is it because my footage is in NTSC and I’m trying to export in PAL?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure what’s going on, but try exporting the sequence as a self contained movie using current settings, then open that file in Compressor for the transfer to PAL.

    It certainly is. You simply can not export an NTSC to PAL. Different frame rates. You need to convert your NTSC to PAL.

    Use Compressor for free or Use Nattress Convertor for $99.
