Converting a Clip to a Standard Frame Rate
 
 
 

You can add a timewarp to a clip to convert it to a different standard frame rate. For example, if you are working with PAL clips and have a few NTSC clips, you can convert them to 25 fps so that their frame rate conforms with the rest of your clips.

To convert a clip to an alternative standard frame rate:

  1. Display the timeline for the clip.
  2. Select the segment. If the clip has audio tracks associated with it, select all the tracks.
  3. Press Ctrl+T to create a timewarp.
  4. Change the speed percentage according to the following table.
    For this frame rate conversion: Use this speed percentage:
    PAL to NTSC 120%
    PAL to 24p 96%
    NTSC to PAL 83.33%
    NTSC to24p 80%
    24p to NTSC 125%
    24p to PAL 104.17%
    NoteThe other timewarp parameters should use the default values, namely: Mix - 0.00, Timewarp Type - Constant Speed, Sample Options - Sample Middle, Render Type - Interlaced, No Interpolation.
  5. Process the timewarp.
