I need to upload a widescreen quicktime I've made in Pal but needs to be converted to NTSC.
It's been a while, do I just convert the framerate to 30 fps.
Is it still 1024 x 576 for widescreen. Also I think I need to provide the audio track seperate - will this matter in terms of synching?
Thanks in advance

open after effects create a new 30fps / ntsc square pixel composition the length of your movie, import your quicktime, drop that file into your new comp. scale to fit the width, export the audio as wav. and render a quicktime with something like animation compression. done!

^rather use compressor, especially when scaling up the frame rate.
after effects handles well and is easiest i guess, but for proper conversions use compressor.

hm, do you think mpeg streamclip will work here??!
- yeah that also quite good.
still recommend compressor tho, it has more options re frame blending etcwhereRI

in my experience, compressor tends to screw up the interlacing when doing standards conversions. flipped fields, blended fields are a nightmare and obviously look completely wrong.
i do mine in AE. regardless of what method you choose, always be sure to check the resulting movie on a proper interlaced tv monitor. there's just no way to tell if fields have been impoperly reversed on a computer monitor.

This might work.
Use cinema tools to change the timebase to 29.97 or 30 whatever.
Make new final cut project in NTSC format, import footage into project then change the frame rate Probably around 80% speed so it is the same duration as the original footage before you changed it's timebase in cinema tools. Sounds good to me.
