Hi All
While I have seen many discussion threads on NTSC vs Pal, and 50p vs 60p I am still unclear on what I should do: I am based in UK but I am in the US for a few weeks. I want to get a Canon G30. Buying a Vixia G30 (NTSC) in the US will be much cheaper here than buying a Canon Legria G30 (PAL) back in the UK.
I edit on Premiere 11 Elements. My output formats will either be Full HD for YouTube, Full HD 'files' for playing on PC/PS4, or mastering BluRay discs to share with friends in the UK.
If I buy the NTSC version (the Vixia) which allows 24p, 30i, 30p, 60i and 60p am I still going to be able to meet my output requirements above? The PAL version - as you would expect - offers 24p, 25i, 25p, 50i and 50p.
My (small) brain tells me that it should not restrict me making YouTube submissions or MP4s etc to play on PC/PS4 (as they are not limited to just one of the 50/60 rates?) But that when mastering a BluRay for UK consumption I may need to force this into a PAL basis?
Of course I could be talking nonsense (happens with frequency).
Any advice from you much cleverer lot would be really appreciated!
