How do I convert 1080 24p NTSC to PAL format, - whats the right frame rate ?

I have some footage* that I want to convert to PAL HD.   Currently its in NTSC HD.
What is the best frame rate / frame size  to convert into?  Do I have to convert it up to 50fps (or 25fps) and turn it into interlaced?

PAL is 720 x 576 pixels interlaced (bottom first).
If it's 16:9 aspect ratio, you need to select "Anamorphic" and the frame rate it 25 fps.
If you need help with Compressor settings - I use Best for everything including re-sizing - processing is slow but the result is excellent.
I believe you can use MPEG Streamclip for converting, but I have not tried it.

  • Batch Convert 1080/24p to 720/24p... AND Conform to Real-Time

    Hi there! A little bit of a conundrum, but I'm sure the answer is out there.
    I have about 4 hours of content that was shot on the Sony FS700. The clips were shot at varying frame rates, but the FS700 automatically conforms high-speed footage at 1080/24p. We've already imported to ProRes 422, but I also have the source media (as shot) still available.
    I need to covert everything to 720p/24, and also conform to real-time. There's obviously a VERY long story as to why I'd need to "throw out" frames, but that's beside the point. We've all dealt with silly clients...
    Rest assured, our group will edit with the original media (and just speed up when we need real-time.) Any suggestions? I'm on a Mac with Adobe CS6 (new convert!) and Final Cut Studio 3. I also own Telestream Episode. THANKS!

    Thanks very much for your help. Yes, it was the faster frame rate I was thinking that I thought could help for the fast action sequences. I was concerned about the jello problem that might be more noticeable at a lower frame rate in fast action scenes. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the GH1 doesn't shoot interlaced, only 1080p and 720p in its movie modes.
    Actually, sorry I made a mistake in my previous post. In 720, the Gh1 shoots at 60fps, not 30.
    My plan was for the timeline sequence to be 1080 and just drop the 720/60p scenes into the 1080/24p timeline. On the GH1, the advantage of shooting in the 720/60p mode is the great slow motion shots you get when slowed down to 24p. Otherwise, yes, the majority would be 24p.

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    MPEG Streamclip.
    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • Converting 1080 24p to 1080 301

    Seems I'm needing to go the opposite direction from most folks here, convert 24p to 30i. And I'm new to HD, so please bear with me.
    I'm doing an off line edit for a project that will be finalized elsewhere to air in HD 1080 30i. We are sending them the HDCAM tapes, they are sending me time coded dvcam dubs of the HD material. Some of the material was shot on film, and we got the HDCAM tapes in as 1080 23.98. The dub house (who will online the final project in HD) told my producer the material can not be converted to 30i because it "would have to be rendered and then the quality would be unacceptable". They also work with Final Cut.
    Can anyone give me a heads up as to what's involved in this process? Is it something the Final Cut suite doesn't handle? I looked here and online, but most folks want to convert the other way. I did see answers here suggesting simply dropping the 24p material into a 30i timeline, then rendering. Does that give choppy results? I had thought that Cinema Tools or Compressor would be able to handle this smoothly, though there might be a bit of rendering involved (creating frames versus removing them). Obviously movies do end up being broadcast on TV, so it can be done. I'm looking at maybe 6 or 7 clips, 2 to 4 minutes each. Is this something that has to done during the initial conversion from film? Best case scenario is that I just had 2 non technical people talking to each other. Worst case is that it will be an expensive lesson. I'd welcome any thoughts. ("Find out all the details before you agree to anything" has already occurred to me)

    Thanks guys, I'll do some of the heavy reading after dinner Zeb. As to Shane's questions:
    But of course leads to the question can the 29.98
    frame rate be easily converted to 59.94
    Yes, quite easily. But...what are you converting
    from and to? What are you shooting that is 29.97 and
    needs to be upconverted?
    Some material that was originally shot on film came to me as HDCAM 23.98
    Most material was originally shot on HDCAM and is 59.94 (I must assume), there is no problem converting this material to DVCAM.
    then have that converted to a DVCAM tape I can
    work from?
    Downconverting to DVCAM is easy as well. All this
    can be done at a post facility. Even converting
    23.98 to DVCAM at 29.97 is fairly standard. Then you
    can reverse telecine the footage to 23.98 and do your
    offline cut.
    HDCAM downconverted to DVCAM is standard. It would
    be better to remain in an HD realm if you can,
    transfer the HDCAM to DVCPRO HD and capture and work
    with that. All you need is a firewire 800 drive or
    better yet, a couple eSATA units. I am using the
    caldigit.com S2VR Duos myself for DVCPRO HD.
    I am still curious as to why you need to convert
    29.97 to 59.94?
    Good advice on staying HD, but late in the project for that. The workflow from my last project was this:
    1. Post house dubbed HDCAM tapes to DVCAM, sent them to me, I put together the project.
    2. I sent my project files to the post house along with a reference DVD and associated files
    3. Post house batch captures from HDCAM using my project file time code, does regular post tweeking.
    The only new element that seems to be a problem this time is that the post house is telling me they can't convert the 23.98 material to a format they can use (59.94), then get me DVCAM dubs of that material.
    And an update, just got an email as I was writing saying they can do it but it would take too long. They can ship the tapes out of house but it would be "really expensive".

  • Converting 1080 24p to SD 60i

    I have finshed editing a :30 commercial that was shot at 24
    p 1080
    on EX-1. I need to render out three versions of this spot.  One needs
    to be 1080i 29.97, one needs to be 72
    0p and finaly a standard def 16:9 1.2 format. what is the best way to render these without it making these "ghosting" duplicate frame effects?

    When I take project into AE and place into
    sd comp at 29.97, it seems to do fine. AE adds the frames
    ( drop down I guess) and no apparent frame ghosting effect

  • Converting NTSC to PAL in CS5, the audio is out of sync-too slow. What do I need to adjust?

    Hi. I had to purchase a new Sony video camera in USA (NTSC 29.9fps). We are PAL, so most of my holiday movie is PAL 16:9 widescreen. When I imported the clips from the NTSC camera, I converted the clips to PAL 25fps but the audio is out of sync and appears to be too slow. eg. a male voice is high pitched and not quite audible. Is it the 'bit rate' difference causing the problem and if so, how do I change that in CS5? The PAL clips off my old camera are imported as MPG files. The new camera files are MTS. I am not sure if this is important but would appreciate some help. Thanks.

    Adobe doesn't have any tools that perform adequate NTSC<=>PAL conversions, in my view.  You may be better off creating a separate video for the NTSC stuff, keeping it as NTSC.  Your player should be able to handle it fine.

  • Shooting in 1080/24p - exporting as PAL

    Hi,
    Does anyone have experience with shooting footage in 1080/24p mode, editing with FCP (1080/24p mode), and then exporting it as PAL 1080/50i?
    Does the image get distorted or something like that?
    I have a camera with 1080/60i and 1080/24p, and I need to send some DVDs in PAL
    (or should I export it in FCP as 1080/24p and then use iDVD?)
    Many thanks
    ~y

    how does FCP turn a 24fps clip into 25fpc?
    You should not do this in FCP. Edit your 24p project and export it as it is.
    Then you can take that master file, either to a facility that offers real time hardware based standards conversion, or do it in software -which will take quite a while.
    Software standards converters include JES Deinterlacer (free) or Natress Standards Conversion ($100). JES will do a decent job but in the end, you get what you pay for.
    Compressor will do it too, but it takes ages and I think the result is not really worth it. If you do choose to convert, have it done properly by folks who know what they are doing. It's not a good stage in the workflow to start trying to cut costs.

  • How to change a clip from NTSC to PAL

    Hi there,
    I have a clip which is in 1920 x 1080 29.97 fps.
    How do I convert it to 1920 x 1080 25 fps ?
    Thanks

    However, what are you going to do with the video?
    Thanks Tom, Martin & Ian.
    Good question by Ian. Hopefully after answering that I do not need to buy anything
    Okay, you see, I bought this video clip from a US website, quite a nice clip. I forget to read the fine lines... it says it doesn't come with sound. However, it did suggest that I goto another website to purchase the sound.
    Another thing is that I did not notice it is 29.97 fps (I only check it is 1920 x 1080).
    The problem is I will mix this video clip with the ones that I have already taken with my Canon video camera which is on 1920 x 1080 25 fps. Obviously these two are at different frame rates.
    I just wanted to see the output (ie after mixing the 2 clips) on the computer monitor in high res.
    ANother problem is this, if I convert the 29.97 fps to 25 fps, then if I put the sound in, would the sound & video be out of sync as they flash at different rates ?
    Do I have to buy to solve this problem ?
    Thanks

    iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

    I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
    There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.
