NO PAL VHS player. Is it still possible to convert using FCP (X)? …

you need two kind of conversions:

• digitizing it => additional hardware to convert analogue to digital

• converting it => FCPX can handle both standards ...

but ...

PAL/NTSC were 'hardwired' into players; just very few, expensive ones were 'multi norm'.

so, your PAL tape is in a NTSC world of no use.

I would suggest to ask some professional converting service to 'digitize' it; in case, the resulting file has 25fps, you can use FCPX or many other free tools (eg JES Deinterlacer) for conversions. or the conversion-service does it for you 'in one rush'.-

if it's a file, mov, mp4, whatever, than just import into FCPX, that simple.

Create a New Project, set manually to NTSC, and drag the digitized video into it. - Done.

Just try it ... 😉
