When iMovie creates a new project, it defaults to NTSC unless you have a PAL camera connected. If you don't have a PAL camera (say you want to edit a DV Stream produced by an InterView device for example), but want to create a PAL project, there's no option in iMovie to do so. Of course, there is a way. Here's what to do:
- Create a new project and save it while it is empty. This should create a folder containing a file with the same name as that folder (i.e. the name of the project).
- Open the file inside the project folder whose name is the same as the project using a text editor (e.g. BBEdit Lite, vi, etc.). It will look something like this:
iMovie Project File
External Version: 2.0
Version: 0.9
VideoStandard: NTSC
ProjectSelection: 0 -1 -1
PlayHead: 0
AudioTrackMute: 0 0 0 - Change the "NTSC" to "PAL" and save the file.
