Ntsc/pal

[Henshaw62]

Was caught in a flood which effectively killed off my PAL min-dv camera whilst on an expedition in the US.

Was obliged to purchase a replacement camera which was NTSC. Am trying to incorporate that new footage into my film which is mostly PAL footage, using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.

I have uloaded the footage to my laptop and it plays perfectly using Windows media player, sound plays perfectly.

However, when I drop it onto the film track in Adobe, the pictiure plays but there is no sound track at all.

I have tried to import it as an AVC file but that doesn't work.

Anyone any ideas how to get round this problem - the footage is irreplaceable and important to the story.

First thoughts ... difficult.

Generally there are few issues playing NTSC clips to Euro PAL TV sets but editing mixed PAL/NTSC is at the extreme. One standard may need to be converted to the other.

FYI: It is commute hour here ... will think about it.
