How do should you operate if you are to make a video out of clips of 60 and 50 fps? I am in PAL country and have two cameras with different outputs.
Thanks
Some NLE products claim they handle mixed formats, frame rates etc but I think PDR13 gives best results when you try to match input with planned output. I assume assume you want to produce PAL HD (25 or 50fps). 60fps is NTSC. I don't have access to a NTSC camera but suggest you do a simple test - first add a 50fps and a 60fps clip to your timeline and produce a H.264 HD file at 50fps PAL. Next use the same two clips in a new project but first convert the 60fps clip to 50fps using a 3rd party program. Add your original 50fps clip plus your now converted clip to the timeline and repeat the test above and compare the H.264 output files. THis should tell you if is is better to convert your 60fps NTSC videos to 50fps before you edit, OR if there is no noticable difference, then just use PDR13 and skip the conversion.
Make sure your PDR13 Settings General is set to 50fps(PAL) before you start. PDR13 may give you a warning when you add the 60fps clip to the timeline. Just ignore it and continue.
