Thank you Dave,
I think I understand quite well. We have Nattress. I just wish there was an easier way to do this. It is a lot of footage!
best regards

Thank you Dave,
From the previous posts on this thread I had understood that. Although this is quite disappointing, I needed to hear the “bad news” to clarify things. Would you have though any suggestion to my situation? (description included in my last post).
Thank you

Hello Alan,
I am clearly one of those new inexperienced users, who fell for this exact piece of Apple marketing!
But the project being underway as we speak, I ask, could you help?
Here is my situation:
……….:

A film (1 hour aprox.) is being made based on footage coming from 2 HDV cameras (both 1080i) one PAL, the other NTSC. All tapes (from both cameras) were captured using Apple Pro Res 422.
The project is being edited in Final Cut Pro 7 (latest) and needs to be delivered primarily in PAL for broadcast in Television. (NTSC possibly later).

Problem:

When a sample that includes both PAL and NTSC clips is exported as PAL, all originally NTSC sections show jerky movements (especially where movement is involved).

Question:

Final Cut Pro 7 boasts about being able to accept a mix of a wide array of formats, frame rates…ect on the same timeline and edit them without much fuss. What happens next though? How do we export the final edited product without mentioned jerky issues? Do we really need to convert all NTSC clips to PAL (Nattress and similar) prior to editing?

Please, help.

Thank you
Petr Myska
