24fps DV PAL

Hi,
    I have a project edited & divided into reels in adobe premiere pro CC. I have to send the reference video for 5.1 sound mix to the sound engineer. He has asked for 24fps MOV filewith DV PAL compressor. Can anybody guide me, how to deal with this. When I select the quick time format for export in premiere, it offers me presets, when I select DV PAL it disabeles the frame rate to be set for 24fps. I know PAL is 25fps. But the sound engineer is saying it is possible to do this. Please Help.
Thanks & regards
Bharat Arora

But the sound engineer is saying it is possible to do this.
That is the reason sound engineers should stick to their field of expertise, audio and not get involved in video.
DV PAL is 25 fps only.

  • Multiple formats and frame rates in one sequence

    i have material shot on many different cameras. it includes PAL and NTSC, HD and SD, 24, 25, 30, and 60 fps, ProRes, DCVProHD, DVCam, etc etc. the final product is going to HD in both NTSC 24fps and Pal 25fps, for NatGeo domestic and international.
    the roughs are already done with this hodgepodge. my job is to clean up the audio (done), and send the video out in for color, titles, and graphics. i'm trying to get at least the frame rates to match at 24, much of it is already in 24 dvcprohd or prores, so i have been doing quicktime exports of the non-dvcprohd/prores video to prores, then conforming to 24p in cinema tools, then overlaying the clips in the sequence with a fit to fill edit. sync has not been a problem, miraculously, even though the speeds end up between 100 and 125 percent.
    am i doing anything right, and if not, what's a preferable way to handle this mess? i tried media manager initially but nothing would relink, so i gave up and started doing the clips individually as stated above.
    all i know for sure is that whatever i end up doing, they're not paying me nearly enough.

    Hi Shane - Thanks for getting back to me! I figured I'd have to compress it, but
    my question is - how? Initially, I used MPEG Streamclip to import the 23.98 dvd footage in as a DV/DVC Pro QT at 100% Best Quality. I then imported those files into FCP. After getting your e-mail, I went to export the files into Compressor (from FCP), and I'm only given 5 setting choices under "QT." I'm not sure which one to select . . . Uncompressed 10 bit? Any ideas? Again, thanks so much!!!

  • Convert 24FPS NTSC to PAL with 4% time change?

    I have a 24fps HD master and I've produced NTSC SD DVDs from this using Compressor. Now, for submission to a festival in Europe, I need to generate a PAL DVD. I would be very happy to do this as a frame for frame transfer and have the overall speed/running time slightly altered, RATHER than have the software (final cut or compressor?) try to interpolate my 24 frames into 25 frames per second.
    I can't find any doc with Compressor that clarifies whether this is possible.

    Jim, I'm out of my knowledge base here, but the forum seems to be semi-functional today, so here's my thought...
    IIRC, many European DVD players will read NTSC DVD's. (I'm sure others will clarify this if I'm wrong) This is not to say you should rely on that as a solution.
    I've seen this discussed here previously, so try searching the forum while you're waiting for better info.

  • Pal to 24fps back to pal

    cutting a feature in beijing... transferring 35mm to minidv (25fps pal) to cut on fcp 5...
    plan to cut in 24fps using conforming function in fcp... anyway to convert back to 25fps pal... manual only describes using a 24p capable vtr...
    thanks,

    Yep use Cinema Tools with the self contained exports. You can alter the frame rate to your hearts content in CT.
    If you think it will save a significant amount of time if you were just able to export a QT Reference file instead of a Self Contained QT file (i.e. there is not much rendering needed), then you can download a package called 'DVD Film Transformer' which includes a small utility called 'Frame Rerater'.
    http://homepage.mac.com/dvdsphelper/Commerical/DFT.html
    Although the main DVD Transformer component is not needed (and does not work under QT 7.0 anyway), all you want is the Frame Rerater utility. It is able to create a new QT Ref file with your chosen frame rate and so does the same as Cinema Tools, only it can do it with QT Ref files (which CT can't).
    Give it a try to check it works for you first using the demo (you have to register) and if you do want to use it does cost $99 (you're basically paying for the component you don't need, but its the only way to get Frame Rerater).
    One day I'm going to learn how to make an app that does this myself. I contacted the developer and he was, shall we say, less than pleasant about releasing Frame Rerater on its own - so currently this is the only app which will work for frame rate alterations on QT reference files (that I know of).
    Patrick, I thought the 2GB limit in CT only effected NTSC Reverse Telecine operations, have you come across this with PAL conform frame rate alterations too?

  • Sync problem From DV-PAL 24fps from AVID

    Hi,
    I have received a DV-PAL file from an Avid media composer. The file is an export at 24fps. When i play it with quicktime there is no problem but when i import it to FCP, the file is not in sync.
    It appears in the parameters that the file is considered at 23,98fps in FCP and not 24fps.
    I tried to trash preferences and rebot but it didn't solve the problem.
    any help ?
    thanks

    When i open in quicktime and hit command-i ; it's 24fps.
    I'm working sound, and i just wanted to change the original sound of the quicktime movie and put a "premix", made in protools. Everything was in sync in protools but not in FCP.
    I succeeded to put the sound with the image at the correct speed, staying in quicktime with the "paste" function.
    But, i now want to understand why the file didn't play in sync in FCP so i'm trying to investigate.
    I've just begin a conversion in apple prores422 10 bits. i will report back

  • NTSC to PAL / 24fps

    Hi guys,
    I'm shooting a tv show for MTV tr in New York City and since it will air in Europe it has to be set in PAL so I am unsure on how to deal with the settings.
    I have NTSC 24fps footage that needs to be edited. My question is when I start a new project in Premiere CS3 should I choose NTSC or PAL or should I start editing in NTSC and convert it to PAL?
    Second question, when I import the footage in Premiere which, is located in my external hard drive with usb 2.0, the video seems jerky or choppy on the camera movements such as panning and any fast camera moves. Do you know how or where I can adjust this problem? Could it be that my project was shot in 24 fps and the new project file fps is 29.97? I didn't change any fps settings in the new project, so I assumed it's automatically 29.97.
    My computer:
    Windows XP
    2.80GHz Pentium D CPU
    2.00GB RAM
    Third question, should I render my project and burn a DVD or does it render when you burn a DVD automatically?
    Can anyone please help me with this?
    Thank you so much!
    Firat

    From what you have described and looking at the specs I feel there is little chance of your program being accepted for television anywhere.
    Need some answers...
    What camera was used to shoot the footage at 24fps? Is it DV or HDV?
    Why did you not choose a project setting of 24fps rather than 29.97?
    Why did you use USB to transfer files rather than Firewire?
    Capturing USB sort of indicates that your camera is DVD or HDD based and using Mpeg files which CS3 doesn't like, nor do TV stations.
    Don't worry too much about burning a DVD until you work out if the footage is editable.

  • Mini DVI-to-Composite (PAL): Video sync problems

    Hi all,
    I have a rather awkward-to-explain specific question and I'm wondering if anyone knows enough about video to explain it...
    I've recently been using my MacBook to play back video through the DVI port to my PAL TV (UK). I have the Mini DVI to video adapter.
    The problem I am having is with video frame rates. If I play a PAL video through the MacBook (25fps), it seems to play it back on the TV with no problems. However, if I try to play any video that has a rate of 24fps, it *starts off* okay for maybe 5-10 minutes, but then the picture becomes really juddery and difficult to watch. If I am using video mirroring I notice that on the LCD screen, the video has started updating frames midway through a screen refresh (you can see a "ripple" running through the picture).
    I do have a way round this problem at the moment... I burn them all to DVD using Toast. Unfortunately though this means about 12 hours of encoding for each DVD, not to mention that I'm getting through so many discs!!
    The result of converting the videos to DVD is that every second there is a slight pause, but this is still miles better than the output from the MacBook directly to the TV.
    Does any of the above make sense? Any ideas on how I can solve this little problem? Anyone? Thanks!
    :-Joe

    Yes it's PAL... I've tried all resolutions, both PAL and NTSC. Obviously all the colours are washed out on NTSC but both have the flicker problem
    Like I say it's fine when running a PAL video - but if I play one recorded in 24fps (ie HD content, DVD content) then I get the flicker problem after a few minutes. Maybe it's something to do with the processing power? Although I can watch the videos fine on the LCD screen.
    I've used Quicktime Player, VLC and Wide Screen Movie Player, all give me the same problem.
    Maybe I should use this as an excuse to get an HDTV

  • NTSC DVD doc for PAL Europe. Updated Advice on IF I need to convert & HOW?

    I have read with interests several posts on playing NTSC, all region DVDs on PAL DVD players. I hope someone may have some updated advice for my situation. In brief, I would like to give out DVD copies to festival goers in France where my Doc will play in April. I thought to produce DVD-Rs on my Mac.
    With a film acquired documentary(24fps), transferred to NTSC video (29.97 fps) sitting as both Avid and Final Cut Pro Media on my trusty G-4, I am now ready to export a Quicktime Movie and then encode to MPEG-2, and "author" a DVD in DVD Studio Pro.
    Will an NTSC DVD now play on most DVD players and Televisions in Europe? (A contact stated their "players are bi-standard NTSC and PAL", but I'm still uncertain this means my DVD-R or replicated NTSC will play).
    Should I make a PAL DVD?
    IF I try a PAL DVD is it really as simple as exporting a Same as Source Quick Time Movie from Avid or FCP then using the QT MPEG-2 exporter and selecting "PAL" from within Quick Time? Then I just create a new Pal project in DVD Studio Pro?...... Even if it is that simple to create PAL from QT and my media, I don't see how my 24 fps/29.97 fps doc now magically becomes PAL 25 fps / 59.97 fps just because I converted it to MPEG-2.
    Do you all recommend I try to make my own PAL DVD or should I just take my already authored NTSC DVDs and cross my fingers.
    I really appreciate any newer thoughts on this topic. I'm an old pre-digital film guy so be kind.
    Thanks, Rob

    Yes, although the vast majority of newer European DVD players and TVs have no problems with NTSC DVDs, the only way to be sure (well, almost sure) is to burn a PAL DVD. You can't legislate for the fact, however, that not all DVD players can play all DVD-R authored disks, but that's a seperate problem!
    I generally use After Effects for quick and dirty (but good quality) standards conversion. Whatever you do don't just try exporting your project via Quicktime using a PAL as this will only change the colour space and not the frame rate or frame size. If you use QT to change frame rate it will simply repeat every fifth frame to get to 30fps which will give you jerky motion.
    Here's a step by step guide to doing the conversion in Compressor 2, using "optical flow" to interpolate to get the extra frames :

  • 720p50 - how does it pull down 24fps??

    Hello,
    Just wondering how the AppleTV sends a 720p24 (720line, 24 progressive frames per second source) to a PAL 720p TV (which refreshes 50 times per second)
    The regular methods are either
    1) slow down the av speed by 1/24th, then display every frame twice. This gives 50 refreshes per second.
    or
    2) show 12 frames twice, then the 13th frame 3 times, then repeat
    My TV accepts 720p50 or 720p60, and has Pioneers "TrueCinema" which works differently for 50/60. For now I'm just putting everything on US settings, assuming it'll handle that better.

    Yeah, I think every PAL plasma can be set to US too. 720p50 or p60 makes no difference. If your TV re-extracts 24fps from the US version then best to use that on your AppleTV.
    Still, I'll have to try 720p50 more extensively. If my TV can reconstruct 24fps from that, then that's good for my 576i25 DVDs.
    Anyone have any 720p24 material with a steadily moving object so I can see if it stutters twice a second on 720p50? (and whether my TV can then remove the stutter)?

  • NTSC to PAL, anyone?

    Hello There,
    I'm about to buy Premier and I'm excited about it.  I'm learning and you'll see that from my question.
    Can anyone tell me if Premier has the ability to output an NTSC project to PAL?  My camera is NTSC.  My client needs a PAL end result.
    Or, if that's not possible, what program will do the job and how's the quality of the result?
    Thanks,
    BT

    Hmmmm,
    Just how tricky is the frame rate conversion going from NTSC to PAL?  We'll probably shoot at 24fps, but one never knows.  There's a possibility that this could go to TV.
    And just how much visual color difference is there between NTSC and PAL?  Does the difference between 16 - 235 for NTSC and 0 - 255 for PAL really matter?  Is it noticeable?
    Thanks,
    BT
    Well, make sure you know at least what you are shooting
    I just gave it a try using AME, max render quality & frame blending and the result is... let me put is this way: you'll see the difference comparing both clips, especially if the source is interlaced, for progessive its a quite a bit better. Some people would say just play it back at 25 fps, the lesser speed is visually below being perceivable, but you will get audio shifting.
    Using time remapping might be better, I had good result using Apples Compressor which uses optical flow for rendering intermediate frames (which is not good for CG, by the way). After Effects has similar capabilities, but I haven't used them yet.
    As long as you stay in HD you wont notice any color differences since there arent any. Both use the same color space. 

  • PAL with NTSC video

    Hello - if I record video using NTSC standard, I can use Premirere to output to PAL standard as well.  What are the drawbacks?  Is the PAL "quality" going to be equivalent?  I know that the frame rate between NTSC and PAL (PAL using more frames, 25p vs 24fp, for example) is different, but how's that going to affect my final product?  Can anyone clarify this?
    Thanks.
    Roberto

    If your end product is going to be a dvd for a PAL country leave it in NTSC.
    NTSC will play just fine on almost any standalone PAL dvd player.
    BTW PAL is better than NTSC.

  • Ntsc (60 fps) vs PAL (50 fps)?

    Hi all,
    I have to choose between NTSC with 60 FPS or PAL with 50 fps on my new GoPro camera (black edition hero3+). What should I do? I live in the Netherlands, so intuitively would go for PAL. But that lowers the framerate possibilities. Higher framerate will enhance my plans to edit certain parts in slowmotion. So, is it possible to shoot with NTSC at 60 fps, edit this movie (in a 60 fps project), burn it to blu ray with loss of quality? Or should I choose for PAL 50 fps?
    Thanks in advance for all for the help!
    Hugo

    Your thought processes are almost correct. Shoot 60fps and edit 25fps.
    The frames per second for your sequence have little to do with the frames per second of your footage when you are shooting with the intention of playing it back in slow motion.
    Now that we are not using interlaced footage, and we are not trying to solve the problems of frame size differences between PAL and NTSC, there is little difference between me shooting at 60fps to put it on a 24fps timeline, and you putting it on a 25fps timeline. At least not for the slow motion footage.
    The slow motion footage will show every frame when you interpret the footage to 25fps. No problem. It will look great.
    The question is, what will the 60fps footage look like when put on a 25fps sequence at normal speed? Keep in mind the shutter speed is different when shooting 25 or 60.
    And I say "little" difference. The math of 60 to 24 might be easier for the program than 60 to 25. I doubt it. After all, it is just a matter of dropping frames.
    So that leaves the footage content itself. If it can survive the dropped frames, then great! If it is a little choppy, then it really wasn't suitable.
    You have to decide that for yourself. My suggestion is to shoot some sample footage for practice before you do it for anything important. Get to know your camera and how 60fps looks on a 25fps timeline on a BD.

  • 1080p pour export quality for 25p material from Canon HF100 PAL

    Hi
    I have now tested iMovie 11 with a Canon HF100 PAL version. Shooting in progressive.
    The AIC import has good quality.
    New 1080p export gives same pour quality as before when using QuickTime 7 for h.264 export.
    AIC export provides good quality.
    So still nu easy way for export from iMovie. Is this common or is it a camera compatibility issue?
    Thanks
    Olof

    I just posted this for another user with the same problem.
    I have a Sony VG10 camcorder that shoots 30p and records it as 1080i60. iMovie sees this as interlaced video and deinterlaces it IF I use most FX.
    So I did a bit of googling and found there is a simple solution. I bought Steve Mullens newest version (09 and 11) of his "Ins and Outs of iMovie." With it I got a free copy of his iMakeFullHD utility. So after importing AVCHD I run the utility on the folder of clips and in a few seconds all the clips are now marked as progressive. Which is actually what they are! iMovie now treats them as 1080p30 -- exactly as it should.
    When reading about the utility I remember skipping the stuff on PAL HD camcorders. So I just reread it and it's no big deal eitherl.
    If you shoot 1080i50, the video is marked as 1080p25. This is exactly the reverse of what my camera does. So while I need to use iMakeFullHD, PAL users do not.
    If you shoot 1080p25, the video is marked as 1080i50. This is exactly like my camera. So you have to use iMakeFullHD to remark it is as progressive -- which is what it is.
    Now Ive no idea why Sony or Canon did what they did, but they did. After buying a $2000 camcorder, buying the book was by far the simpler solution.
    I know he has a section on 1080p50 and 1080p60 from the tms700. Didn't apply to me so i skimmed it. Also, having had imovie 09 i was surprised to read that 11 now supports real 1080p24. There's also a section on removing 2-3 pulldown from 1080i60 to get 1080p24. Again i just skimmed this in case sony were to release a firmware update so I could shoot 24fps.
    One more thing I learned. Because my video really is progressive, I can use all FX. They'll always look perfect.
    But, if you shoot 1080i50 -- which imovie sees as 1080p25 -- the good news is that imovie will never deinterlace the clips causing a loss of resolution. But, the clips realy are interlace. this means that sometimes you may see combing during the FX. There are very clear pix of what this looks like in the ebook. But, the solution is so simple -- only shoot 1080p25!
    Most of us want to shoot progresssive anyway!
    The nice thing is i followed the instrictions on burning 1080 avchd video to DVDs and they play in HD on my BD player. And, i didn't have to buy a BD burner.

  • S16 24fps - DVCPro HD 25 fps -   24 fps editing and output?

    I'm new on this forum so "hi everybody!"
    We're about to shoot a short feature on S16 film and I'm in charge of postproduction.
    Last feature we made was shot on S16@24 fps -> HDCam SR telecine -> Betacam SP -> 24fps edit on Avid Film Composer -> EDL -> HDCam SR conformation, color grading and titling -> 35mm shoot.
    The thing was, finding for free a HDcam SR deck and an Avid for conformation, color grading, titling etc... was really painful.
    So now that we have less money than last time and that HD technologies evolved, I'm considering DVCPro HD instead of HDCam SR.
    If the movie is good enough, we may get more money to go back to film on a 35mm print but nothing's sure right now. If the film isn't good enough, we'll stay in DVD/BluRay world.
    The big question is "24 fps or 25 fps shooting?" (24 being the standard for film and BluRay/HD-DVD (ok, HD-DVDead) but can be an issue in my post production process)
    I know for I can only make 25 fps DVCPro HD tapes in my Pal world (talking "1 film frame for 1 TC frame").
    I know I can transfer 25 fps DV on FCP and edit everything at 24 fps with Cinema Tools.
    But can I transfer 25 fps DVCPro HD to FCP with Cinema Tools (online editing), edit them at 24 fps and output a "BluRay quality" 24 fps video file? (for the 35mm shooting part I'm not affraid as I'll need TGA/Tiff frame sequences so one frame is one frame, there's no footage speed or anything involved)
    I'll need a good 24 fps video file for the audio post part...
    The goal is to stay in the digital domain after the telecine, and never use the original negative again (juste like we did for the last short feature we made). So no keycodes/flex or anything.
    I know DVCPro HD is not as good as HDCam SR or even an original negative cut scan, but we won't have enough money for that and I was pretty impressed by the DVCPro HD->35mm footage I've seen so far.
    Thanks

  • Film list in Cinema Tools from 25 telecine, edited in a DV PAL-24 sequence

    Hello professionals out there in the binary world,
    I am looking for 24/25/24 answer to my problem and going thru all the questions like mine with no answer is just depressing !!!
    Here is the problem:
    We are editing on Final Cut Pro 4 with Cinematools 2.1
    16mm shot at 24 FPS with a TC at 25fps to edit at 24fps in FCP 4
    Sound recorded at 24FPS (Cantar)imported thru sebskytools...
    We edited in a sequence DV PAL-24
    (24@25 not available on FCP4)
    Sound SEEMS ok as I need everything at 24FPS (quicktime movie, omf and edl)
    For the image, I need a cut list for the negative cutter, when I want to make it in FCP4, in the settings, it doesn't allow me to change the TC rate to 25, it's greyed out, I have no choice else than 24...EVEN if I logged the database saying it was a 25fps TC.
    In the database it's ok but it's not available in the FCP film list settings.
    First weird thing..WHY ???
    When the list is done, it says at the beginning and for all the clips used in the edit: "warning, the clip x does not have a telecine speed of 24FPS".... But the keycodes seems ok (same as my timeline)
    SECOND PROBLEM:
    I also need to tape the movie on beta for that negative cutter and it should be at 25FPS, like the TC otherwise the time won't correspond...HOW ??? Is it possible ?
    Thanks for any information you could give me to clear it up a little bet !
    All that 24/25 is a little cloudy in my mind, I would be thrilled if someone could blow those clouds away !

    Final Cut Pro 4 / Cinema Tools 2.1   Mac OS X (10.3.1)  

    Hi Marie
    Cloudy.....its a pea souper. Below is a cut and paste of some of the answers I have given in other threads. Also, I would get FCP5 studio as it is much better at all this.
    Hi
    This is the one area where avid beats FCP. 24fps Pal. I have now used FCP on a couple of PAL features and it is a bit of a pain. I also have the Apple pro support but most of this is all new to them.
    Lets start with picture. As you know, you can either make tape/dvds that are the correct running length of the film and include a repeat frame or you can make them playing 4% fast with a pitch change but smooth pictures (1 frame film = 1 frame video). Most of the time, ie. when you are editing you will use the first method and live with the repeat frame. However, for VFX work and the NEG CUT or DI you will need to make 25 frame playouts.
    The avid does this well but FCP is a pain.
    One work around for the fast output is to export a QT of the cut and use cinema tools to conform it to 25fps. Some neg cutters or Digital labs will work to a QT, if they don't, then the 25fps QT can be imported into a new 25fps pal project so you can make a tape for the neg cutter which has the correct time code and you will have machine control. (Hint, I burn in 25fps TC when I make the QT). The edl will depend on your choice of film key number cut lists or a video edl. Key code lists work well but most neg cutters/labs dont like them. If you need an EDL then it should be made in the main 24@25 project but you need to set the edit code to 25fps before you make the edl. This is changed in the browser by going to TC RATE where it is set to 24@25 speed and right clicking. this gives you the option of changing the edit to 25 or 24 as well as 24@25. Most of the time while I cut, I have the edit set to 24fps not 24@25. Then I can see how long the show is running, how long a clip is etc.
    Sound. Most people in the UK get rushes synched at the lab/tk house. They speed up the sound to match the speeded up picture. That blows the idea of an omf unless you are ok with the sound going through an analogue transfer which includes a speed change. If not, you will have to reconform from the original dats.
    You must get flex files which will track the original location dat tapes and their time codes. These are used to in Cinema tools to make the batch capture list. When you want to make an edl at the end you will use EXPORT...CINEMA TOOLS AUDIO EDL.
    Your audio post house may require a video tape with each reel having time code starting on the hour. That is very tricky and I tend to go back to my avid for that. You can do it by doing a crash record with the added frame and loading that back into a 25fps project. Then making tapes from there as you will now have machine control. Not pretty and quite time consuming. If they will work from QT files its easier.
    I think you may have imported the audio which I haven't done in FCP yet. I will try BWAV import one day as they work well on the avid but have been told they don't work well on FCP. If they are working well for you then the omf route should be great. Let me know how you get on with audio.
    I have managed to get through PAL features shot at 24 with FCP, but it sure is more work than on an avid, mostly for the assistant editors. However, I like cutting on FCP.
