That was the first thing I did, and it made the file sizes even bigger. So I erased and did a test with AIC which seemed to reduce the file size by about 75%. So I went with that but still so huge. Any idea why?
Thanks
That was my hunch. I’ll edit in a PAL timeline since most of the footage is PAL. I’ll keep the Pal and NTSC stuff on separate tracks. Then I’ll convert the Pal tracks and put everything in an NTSC timeline at the end.
Or should I edit in an NTSC sequence right away? Does it make a difference?
So I’ve captured the PAL as PAL in FCP. It’s roughly 250 clips totalling 6 hours. I should do a conversion now of all those PAL clips using the Nattress converter? Then edit in an NTSC sequence? Any guess on how long that will take?
