I believe there is a need for a separate Movie Studio forum otherwise there will be much confusion. Many of the Vegas answers won’t be applicable to MS because there is so much it doesn’t have that Vegas does.

John, I’ve always assumed the ‘Basic’ forum was for Movie Studio users and the main forum for Vegas Pro users. They are two different products albeit related and have their own Sony forums. Rather than ditch the Basic forum it would be better to rename it to Movie Studio.
Of more serious concern is what has happened to all the useful info in the Basic forum, especially your own useful contributions.

In the Pan/Crop Source Options try selecting “No” for “Stretch to Fill frame”. Works in MS12 but I don’t know about MS13.

If you’re source material is PAL 1080 50i you should not have problems exporting as mp4 PAL 1080 25p. I’m puzzled as why it doesn’t work for you.
As for hitting a stone wall if you alter a Blu-ray or AVCHD template so it falls outside the Blu-ray specs then yes you will encounter a problem.

Patrick, most of the templates are not set in stone. You can modify them. So in the Framerate drop down box select 25.00 for PAL. It is there as an option. The same for bitrates, they can be altered. Then save your customised template under a new name for future use.

Patrick, can you not export as mp4 provided your film festival accepts it. I would expect your TV to also play mp4. In SMS12 either the Main Concept or Sony AVC Internet HD 1080p templates will give you 25p if you alter the framerate from their default NTSC settings.
As for your last query, with a thumbdrive your TV will deinterlace your 25 frames interlaced into 50 full frames to display. With Blu-ray players it depends on their setting. Most give you the option to choose between 50i or 50p output. The former leaves your TV to deinterlace while with the latter the player does the deinterlacing. At least that is my experience.
Personally I prefer 50i over 25p. With fast or close sideways movement I find 25p jerky. The ideal is of course 50p
