enable custom frame rate on export in premiere pro 2020

Another vote for being able to select the correct frame rate for 8mm film.

I tested the method of building the proxy with After Effect, and then use it with Premiere as recommended by one of this community members. That did help as I was stuck but evidently it disturbed my workflow significantly, and the 2022 version of Premiere still did not address the issue, what a pity! It seems to be so simple to fix, just respect the fps of the original instead of changing it to 15 fps. Who is using 15 fps anyway?

Can't understand why Adobe still hasn't made this improvement. Anyone editing Super-8 film or 8mm in its native frame rate really needs this.

Same request for the proxies

This is absolutely essential for anyone who is working with archival footage. I really don't know why this option isn't available in Premiere. This seems like one of those issues where the developers think they know better than the client, but unfortunately, they're wrong. If I'm working with archival footage in 18fps, I need to be able to keep it in 18fps upon export. If for no other reason, this way I can accurately reference frames from the exported file back to the original. If I sample frames up to 24 or down to 15, it doesn't matter if it "looks" the same, it's not accurate to the original. Adobe, PLEASE fix this.

Thanks Lance we appreciate the good words and we're glad it works for you

This was a HUGE issue for us when we moved over to Premiere 2020/2021. I noticed the post by Autokroma that they have software to get around this issue. Honestly, it saved my life as I transfer THOUSANDS of reels of film each year. I too saw someone saying it's spam/payware (I mean c'mon - the guy created something that everyone in this thread is upset over and the person makes it like he's trying to get away with something). He's not...I don't know the programmer, but (for me) it was well worth the price ~ I tried the demo and it did exactly what I wanted, so I bought it 5 minutes later. I've had ZERO issue dialing in exact frame rates using Premiere 2021 (lower versions too). It's a shame that Adobe changed things as this was never an issue in CS6, but yes...not being able to use these frame rates is a big deal for companies like mine who transfer hundreds of thousands of feet of film each year. Autokroma's AfterCodecs works perfectly and easily with minimal effort!

With an original at 16 fps or 18 fps, AME creates proxy at 15 fps and the proxy are not synchronised with the original. The only known way to create a proxy at the correct frame rate is to transcode with Da Vinci to obtain a proxy at the correct frame rate but then we can't switch from proxy to original during editing but only at the end by re-linking the original clips. I do not understand why when I ask Premiere to do a proxy as per the original AME changes the frame rate from 16 or 18 to down to 15.fps.

Still missing this feature in 2021!

upvote, adobe please support custom frame rates like 18 or 16 fps for archival renderings.

the free voukoder plugin supports 18fps.
