1080i60 to PAL Help

hi,
sorry for the detailed queston, but i wasn't able to find an answer to all of this. and it's been a few years since i was deep in video production/formats!
i have some footage in FCP thats hd1080i60 (1440 x 1080). it needs to go to PAL. i'm not sure if there are hd PAL formats, or if PAL is just PAL, 720 x 576 or 768 x 576...
anyway, what is the cleanest way to do this? create a new sequence in FCP that's set to PAL and render, or...?
also, is there a good online resource index for definitions and terminology with things like anamorphic, etc?

it needs to go to PAL.
Do you need to build a PAL DVD? What fps has your movie?
also, is there a good online resource index for definitions and terminology with things like anamorphic, etc?
DVDSP user manual has a good Glosary (FCP and Compressor manual haven't !!).
After all, Google it! I use sometimes Wikipedia for such searchs.

Created in NTSC, Need in PAL - HELP!

Hello,
I'm fairly new to the iMovie package, i had used it about two years ago while editing a movie for a college class and everything was set-up for us.
Anyway, i spent all day yesterday editing a project for my univeristy course. The problem is, when i come to "share" the project in iDVD it says that it's an incorrect format to burn as the discs are PAL... do i want to continues (i did).
The project burned to a DVD disc, and works fine in my home dvd player (but i think that's because it's multiregion). is there anyway to make sure it has burned to Pal and works on all dvds that aren't multiregion?
Thanks for any help

Hello HelixOmnimedia,
in your workflow (iMovie/iDVD), what is PAL and what is NTSC? Is the iMovie project NTSC and you want to burn a PAL DVD?
If so, that is possible in iDVD (and from what I read you have done so). You'll find the setting for the TV standard in iDVD's preferences: "New projects are ...". Note that this setting takes place only for new projects. A project's setting can be verified by choosing Project > Show Project Info from the menu.
Note: the conversion done by iDVD doesn't produce the best quality. For better results you might want to have a look at JES Deinterlacer:

Do not confuse TV standard with region codes. iDVD creates DVD's that are enabled for all 6 regions, so there's no problem with that. Most newer DVD players in PAL - land will play NTSC discs, but not all of them and there might be problems, such as the DVD being shown in black & white.
hope this helps

Very best 1080i60 to PAL DVD workflow, please?

Hey guys,
I've been handed some footage shot in HDV1080i60 on a Z1. Trouble is that it was supposed to be shot in 1080i50, because we need to make a PAL DVD at the end of this..
So I'm wondering what, using the FCS2 suite is the best workflow.. I'm thinking of capturing 1080i60 and then converting that to PAL via Compressor using Optical flow..
I don't know if it is better to edit in 1080i60, then convert before going to DVD, or to convert before editing..
Any advice on what would be the ideal workflow would be gratefully appreciated..
Pete

Hmm, yep of course converting the copius quantities of raw footage will take forever. Thanks for the advice on a editing codec..
I was gonna say that yeah while most PAL DVD players will play NTSC, that I cannot deliver on NTSC..
But now I'm thinking that provided it plays on their player they'd never know the difference. (Wedding video)
Maybe I'll send through a draft copy as NTSC & see if they grumble about playability. If not I'll deliver NTSC DVD..
Thanks for the answer..

1080i60 to PAL conversion...

hi all
Using FCP 5, i'm trying to output to SD PAL 25 fps from an HD 1080i60 project. Needless to say i'm getting a very 'stuttery' result with the video quality...
any suggestions on how to make it smoother would be gratefully received.
thanks

Try this (on a short clip - as a test). In Compressor, make a copy of the DV PAL setting. Select your new custom preset and in the Frame Controls tab of the inspector change Output Fields to "Bottom First" and change Rate Conversion to "Better" or "Best".
Save the preset and apply it to your test clip.

Exported from Premiere as NTSC, but Encore thinks it's PAL - Help!

Encore 3.0.0.268
Source video: AVI, 29.97 fps, 720x480, 32kHz 16-bit stereo
Exported from Premiere Pro to Encore with the following settings:
NTSC, 720x480, 29.97 drop frame [fps], Lower, Quality 4.5
48 kHz, 16 bit, PCM
VBR, 1 Pass, Min 2.02, Target 4.78, Max 7.00 [Mbps]
But!... when I open the project in Encore, it only lists PAL options. For example, if I try adding a menu, it adds the PAL version instead of the NTSC version (which does exist in the Library folder). If I remove all the PAL menu files from the Library folder, then it doesn't list any menus at all for this project (except a couple HD ones) - ie, it's ignoring the NTSC menus.
Also, if I look at the Transcode Settings, the only choices are PAL.
NOTE: I already have NTSC set as the Default Television Standard in Encore General Preferences.
Why does Encore think the video is PAL? How can I make it think otherwise without redoing the whole export in Premiere?

Mistakenly changed from NTSC to PAL - Help!

My display settings on my mac mini were changed from NTSC to PAL (all i will say is that it involved a 3 year old) and now i can't get an output to my display. how do i change this??

Try starting in Safe mode. If that works, change the resolution from whatever is the starting resolution to another choice. For example, if it comes up at 640 x 480 NTSC, change to 800 x 600 NTSC. Then restart normally. Hopefully that will get things back to the way they were before.

NTSC - PAL - HELP

I live in central Europe but used to live in the US. I have analog video footage shot in the US on NTSC VHS cassette.
I want to send a DVD of this footage to Grandparents in UK. I have sucessfully imported into iMovie 6 using my (US) camcorder as a pass-thru converter from my multi-system (analog) VCR.
The DVD ends up being NTSC which I suspect they will not be able to watch in the UK.
I imported to iMovie then exported to iDVD.
Can anybody advise the best way to go...

LargeAL: Of course depending on the current size you may want to compress it.
sorry to say, Al, but that is nonsense...
the iLife suite uses internal the same codec as tape - dv.
so, stay with dv, in iM and esp. for converting into another viddeo standard and esp. for usage in iDVD otherwise you will realize a dramtaic loss of quality....
any codecs as mpgs are for playback only, are lossy and not meant for usage in iDVD....
video IS huge files. full stop.

Mystery. jpeg stills require rendering on FCP timeline??

I'm co-editing a film with a partner on the other side of the continent. We are using a lot of stills. I use GraphicConverter to re-size the 300dpi stills to 72dpi. (300dpi stills slow down FCP considerably, and take a lot longer to render.)
My 72dpi versions are working just fine. Do not require rendering on the timeline (the green line above) ... so I can set keyframes and plan movements, requiring rendering only when I'm satisfied.
My partner has done the same thing, with the same still in fact, in GraphicConverter ... but when he brings that 72dpi still into his FCP it requires rendering (red line) before he can even work with it. Ironically, the 300dpi original stills DON'T require rendering (but will, I'm sure, slow down his work to a virtual stall when he gets a number of those stills on the same timeline).
A mystery? Is there perhaps something we are missing in the FCP preferences, or the timeline settings? The timeline settings are set exactly the same on both systems (HDV 1080i60).
Any help would be most appreciated,
Ben

I had a somewhat similar problem once and it turned out to be some bizzare naming scheme a PC used to name files sequentially.
Try taking picture A and making your GC version. Have him take picture A and make his GC version. Have him zip the image, email it to you and then you open both in GC and compare their specs. Off-hand I can't think of anything in FCP that would affect this but I'm not sure.
It could be something innocuous like a resource fork for a thumbnail or his are RGB and yours are CMYK or something.

Trying to render is crashing not only the software, but my entire computer!

Hello!
I do a weekly webshow that I've been making with Premiere CS5 since November. In all that time I've never had any trouble but just this past Sunday I went to render in the H264 format I always use and the bar got to around 45% before the whole thing went tits up - the computer gave me a quick blue screen of death before restarting.
What I was able to glean from the blue screen was a suggestion that this could be due to a conflict with another piece of software. I don't install a lot of software on a regular basis, but recently I'd installed Tubeshack and - I admit - Team Fortress 2. I tried uninstalling Tubeshack and then rendering with the H264 format and the Level set to 5.0
Lucky me, I got a full render! Thinking the problem solved, I then tried to render a smaller file with the level at 4.1 (a lot of video upload sites have stingy upload limits).
The computer crashed again. Same blue screen. Same briefly displayed message about "HEY MAYBE THIS IS A SOFTWARE CONFLICT I DON'T KNOW MAN". I was, however, able to render a tiny (15 seconds) stretch of my video without complaint. I tried deleting render files, thinking that folder had gotten too fat, but this made no difference.
I know my computer is up to snuff for what I'm asking of it and that those two programs I installed recently are the only changes I've made lately. I've run my anti-viral with no results and am getting a bit concerned as I have grander editing plans in the near future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Oliver

BACK TO OLIVER
One thing I'd like to add is that I cannot shake the feeling that some sort of resource has been slowly consumed over time. Why? Because when I first put the computer together I could preview video in Premiere in real-time. Over the year that followed the previews became slower and chunkier until finally this hoo-ha happened. I've tried hunting for a crowded temp file but no luck. I also tried "Clear Render Files" but it made no difference.
Help?

1080i60 file to PAL dvd

i have a motion based animation. 1920 x 1080 that i need to convert for use in a pal dvd. seems simple, but all i need to do is run it through the 1080i60 PAL preset in compressor (which only changes the fps to 25) and then compress that as a mpeg?
am i missing anything?
macbook pro 2.33 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hope you asked us to disregard because you figured it out or got help, not because you're giving up!
There are some excellent white papers (pdfs) on this site about FCP workflows.
One thing to keep in mind is that changing the easy setup will only change the default settings for new elements you create. Existing sequences will keep their original settings, which if you think about it is the way you would want it.
Also, you don't have to make a separate version of the project, you can duplicate the sequenc ein the original project - I find file management easier this way.
Good luck -

1080i60 = Pal?

I have a project that is in 1080i60 at 29.97 fps...How can I convert to ntsc? I thought 1080i50 was pal? I have tried to find discussions but I am unssuccessful. I need to make a ntsc HDDVD, but cannot seem to figure it out. Any suggestions would help.

I have the 1080i60, but it the file also says that its pal.
I have an HD burner...imac 1.8 dual processor circa august 06.
I have looked into my manuals, but to no avail. I keep getting a message that my assets are pal...I have my settings for ntsc. I was able to burn it as a pal dvd, but it wont play in anything accept my mac dvd player.
My assets are either mpeg 2 or h.264 (mpeg4).
