    I bet that’s it, thank you! Because it started with .avb but then lost it. And I saw that happen with two others so I will always add it from now on. Appreciate it!

    The sequence had simply lost its extension so I just added .avb and it is now working. Am I handling the sequence incorrectly when I copy it from the Attic to the project?

    The Adobe forum answered me for anyone else having this issue:
    As you have found out, Interpret footage in either AFX or Premiere will play out the same number of frames but at 25 per second rather than 23.97 per second which is why it runs shorter. When you ‘export’ at a different frame rate a standards conversion will take place, for each second Premiere will add an extra frame and a bit, for some types of footage this is noticeable on other types it looks ok. Traditionally when converting from film frame rates to 25fps PAL the film is just played faster and the sound is also played faster. I would ask the channel which method they would prefer.

    I apologize, I don’t think I explained myself correctly. When I ran a ProRes HD 25 export test (changing a 23.976 mov to ProRes 422 1080p 25), the duration didn’t change on the clip. I don’t understand how, if I am changing 23.976 to 25fps, the time doesn’t change on all types of exports. I also just discovered that the PAL DVDs I made also didn’t change duration. Is the MPEG2DVD conversion compensating for the frame loss?

    I am also doing exactly what you all said to do, interpret the footage to 25fps in AE (an hour and a half movie is 3+ minutes shorter) and Stretch & Pitch an HQ Wav in Audition and then sync them up.
    But why does the AE process change the duration when the automatic DVD Encore PAL process maintains the runtime, quality, and audio?

    June 23, 2015 at 8:00 pm in reply to: Which ProRes is PAL HD

    Thank you, I really appreciate the response. I have asked them twice and they keep saying ProRes HQ but I am going to press to talk to their tech person who I am sure will help me. My worry has been with such a long project, an hour and a half, and the inability to check on a PAL monitor, I wasn’t sure if this is something I should give to a post house. But having read all the forums for 23.976 to 25fps conversion, fixing audio sync, and setting everything in Media Encoder to the highest quality, I think that should yield the PAL version they need. Am I missing anything in that explanation? Is there anything about PAL I didn’t mention?
    Thank you very much, there is so little on this type of conversion in the forums.

    I need a ProRes HQ Quicktime in picture ratio 16:9 from my NTSC HD film.
    Will an MOV – Apple ProRes 422 HD 1080p 25 work for the South African TV channel?

  • The Creative Cow forum people put it in both Media Encoder and FCP so someone should be able to help.

    I am sure that is the case with the venue. If I leave it as PCM – that is stereo – so that should fill their requirement, correct? Also, I tried to do a Dolby Digital Plus today, that is an Ec3 extension and only Audition would play it. Neither Encore nor Premiere would allow it.

  • Sorry, I am not an answer for you, I am having the same trouble with credits. The credits “beat”, like seeing both fields. They aren’t smooth, as it scrolls down the titles are moving up and down slighting. Really hard to explain. Maybe it is a progressive, interlace problem?
    Thanks for your help.

  • YES. Thank you so much, I should have tried that first. It is an hour thirty doc with many titles already made. Really appreciate the help.
