Editing on Avid in PAL

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Editing DV Films : One Thread

Does anyone have any experience with editing a long form feature in PAL on the Avid and what additional equipment is needed to achieve this?

I need an editor and a system that can do this for a feature starting in June.

i'm a Canadian filmmaker/editor presently living in Lisbon (Portugal) working extensively in PAL with BetaSp, DV and editing on the AVID.

Most production houses in Europe tend to copy DV onto BetaSp or Digibeta before going into the AVID. Although all AVIDs can work in PAL or NTSC not all AVID installation come with a PAL deck for digitizing into the system.
