Quicktime .mov PAL or NTSC how to check version
August 5th, 2016
I have some different .mov video files for video editing stuff…all i need to know is how can i check the version of the video file either PAL or NTSC?
I know i can go into the movie inspector in QT Pro and check the frame rate – and i know 29.97 is NTSC and 25FPS is PAL – However i also get 30 FPS and 60 FPS in some movies which i thought the 30FPS would be NTSC but i can import it into a PAL video editor? Now that is confusing…
So i opened up Livetype and set the preferences to PAL 3:4 – and guess what? i can import all the mov files even the NTSC 29.97 FPS with PAL .movs too…
Thats confusing as i thought a video editor application could only import PAL videos if it was set to PAL and only NTSC videos if it was set to NTSC
Can some one help me find out what version my .mov files are please?
Many many thanks
That’s because the PAL & NTSC doesn’t exist for file types like avi or mov. PAL or NTSC can be the source, but this does not apply to the mov or avi file, so you can just use every program to edit them with.
