If I would want to shoot with the XL1s PAL in Frame Mode (25p) and the real 25p of the XL2, can I just capture them in a normal project in a NLE (Premiere Pro or Magix) ? Or any other advice?

Thanks,

Thank you very much. So I just use normal settings within Premiere pro, or 25p settings?

Frame mode is the same as 25p (if you are in a PAL country) to the computer.
So just set that for your project.

DV footage is copied over from the camera (tape) to your computer. You do
not need to set capture settings (except perhaps if you want it to split up
files at the points you pressed stop/start [if your software has that feature]
etc.)
