Feb 1, 2014 2:26 PM in response to ArleighHby Studio X,To convert the 25fps PAL file to a 29.97fps file staying within the ProRes codec:
• Open up compressor. In the Settings window select: Apple>Formats>Quicktime>ProRes 422
• Select the "Duplicate Selected Setting" icon in the upper left of the Settings window
• This creates duplicate of the preset that you can edit
• Select the preset copy and, in Inspector, give it a new name (something like ProRes PAL>NTSC)
• In Encoder>Video Settings>Frame rate - and change the frame rate to 29.97
• In Frame Controls> turn them on and set Resize Filter and Rate Conversion to BETTER. (If so set them to BEST, be prepared for a long wait)
• In the Geometry tab, set the Frame Size to 720x480 (you don't say if the file is 16:9 or 4:3)
• Submit the file and go have dinner. Depending on the length of the file, it may take hours.
Have fun.

May 27, 2014 7:34 AM in response to Studio Xby take2vm,I'm doing the same...but in reverse. I have an NTSC file that must be delivered in PAL. Would I do the same process but change the frame rate to 25? (and resolution to 1920x1080 in my case)

Aug 25, 2015 5:49 PM in response to Studio Xby JacksAxe,That's great advice, it worked very well to make an NTSC video, but in DVD Studio Pro 4 when I try to build, it fails, saying "Bitrate too high".
Do I take the NTSC prores file and put it back into FCP7 and export it as an m2v?
Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
Jack

Oct 31, 2015 5:20 PM in response to ArleighHby Fellowhip,Hi Guys,
Trying to convert a PAL full frame (1080p HD) 25fps ProResHQ to NTSC for a DVD burn for a festival in the USA.
Using Final Cut X 10.2.2. with the latest version of compressor.. Not absolutely sure what the best option is? As there are quite a few variables now.
How do I do it?! Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance and let us know if you need additional info.

Nov 1, 2015 7:01 AM in response to Russ Hby Fellowhip,Thanks for the reply Russ, isn't the frame rate for NTSC supposed to be 29.97?
-
Nov 1, 2015 9:33 AM in response to Fellowhipby Russ H,23.98 should be fine although you should verify all specs with the festival. If they require 29.97, you can set it manually.

Nov 1, 2015 9:46 AM in response to Russ Hby Fellowhip,Hi Russ, I'm confused, you sent me a picture with different settings than that of 29.98/29.7 you sent a screen grab above of 23.976 fps and 720 x 576..
Which is correct? I just need to convert a ProResHQ 25fps to a DVD file with NTSC standard settings
Thanks Russ, do really appreciate your help, just trying to be clear.

Nov 1, 2015 9:51 AM in response to Fellowhipby Russ H,Sorry to confuse you. I didn't have a PAL clip when I posted the screenshot. I was just trying to show that Compressor gave the choice of different standards settings.
