Great. I’m using it now–5 hours to render, then we’ll see. Thanks.

Thanks Neil. Live and learn. I’m trying Nattress and if that doesn’t work (won’t know until 5 more hours of rendering), I’ll try importing the .mov of the whole show, then converting with Nattress. Problem is my client wants this exported uncompressed so she can import it into her FCP and add Arabic subtitles. If I import my .mov it’s already compressed.
I’m not a techie at all, but a producer/director, storyteller. It’s been a while since I’ve made a mistake this big. But this is new territory for me, the PAL, and I certainly should have researched it better going in. Good thing I did this one dirt cheap.

I appreciate this group so much. Thanks y’all.

Hi Steve.
I looked at Natress. It seems like the simplest way to do this. Have you used Nattress successfully to convert a fully edited sequence from NTSC to PAL?
Thanks.

Do I convert it clip by clip, taking each clip from the browser and then converting, then reimporting? This is a mess. I clearly should have researched it first. Please advise on the simplest way to do this. Thanks so much.

So I see that I need to remove 5 fps to convert from NTSC to PAL? How can this be done when the footage is already shot, transferred and fully edited in a sequence? I just made a sequence with uncompressed, 8 bit PAL and copied the NTSC sequence into it and it messed everything up.

Okay. I did that. And I just made a sequence with uncompressed 8 bit PAL settings and copied my NTSC sequence into it. It’s two minutes shorter but didn’t cut off the end, so I’ll see what it looks like after rendering. It’s a diff in frame rate (?) or something betw NTSC and PAL. Hope I can make this work! Any other ideas?

My footage is HD 1080/24p, sequence is 24 fps, frame size 720 x 480, pixel aspect is ntsc-ccir 601. Can it not be converted to PAL uncompressed at this point?

Okay thanks Rafael. I do need another HD, but trying to limp along until the funds come in. I’ve already got 5 TB of dedicated storage. High def takes up so much space. Need to clean house.

I’ve been deleting many duplicate files and that helps of course. I’m still working out how to organize these larger projects without creating multiple clips when I subclip things and remove limits etc. Deleting autosave and CFs haven’t hurt things so far, but if anyone could share what they do to safely make space in an ongoing project I’d really appreciate it.
