Hi I shooted in PAL using Sony HVR-Z1U. when trying to capture i set the PAL 48khz in Device Control and Capture/input as well as I am playing in a Sony HVR-M15U deck which has PAL for play but it does not show anything(clips i filmed in PAL) in the the FC window but if i play NTSC, it shows my clips. Even when I am plaing in TV it shows the PAL clips. Could you solve my problem? Do I need to set up anything in my FC? Thanks Tulu

Hi Tulu, sorry, I only just saw this. Did you get it sussed? Did you go through your audio/ video setup and select DVPAL as your sequencer and format preference of choice? That should be it. If it's previewing in NTSC but not in PAL, then there's setting awry somewhere. Alternatively, when you're on a deadline and are struggling to ingest footage, stick it in iMovie and bring the media files across to your FCut project. Much less hassle! Cheers, YADJ

Thanks for response. That problem is solved.

Hi Tulu, Could you explain how you solved your problem or anything that helped please. This could help other members of the forums. :-) Rounik

Hi I did a very silly mistake. When I first opened my Sony HVR M15U MiniDV Deck, I was expecting that the format will be changed by itself whenever or whichever format recorded cassette I put and play. I put a PAL recorded cassette and did not have any image and the deck itself has no LCD display where I can see the menu. So I hooked it with my TV and got the menu, changed to PAL and got the image. Thanks
