Question

Convert MOV to MP4 at 48 FPS

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert a MOV file to MP3 while maintaining the 48 fps? It auto converts to 50 fps, and doesn't give any options between 30 fps and 50 fps, which is crazy because 48 fps is a super common frame rate.

 

Alternatively (and preferably) do we know if Adobe will fix the bug in Premier that won't allow MOV files to play or edit properly, so I can skip this whole conversion step in the first place?

    Hi Adobe, this is still an issue in 24.5.  There is no option in either Premiere or AME to choose 48 fps or 47.952 fps (23.976 x 2).  Both of these should be added.  Better yet, it'd be nice to have the freedom to customize and enter any frame rate at all, instead of bieng restricted to the preset list of available frame rates.  This is a big problem with 48p material, especially b/c it's effectivley impossible to create proxies.  I have some 59.94 footage that needs to be conformed to 47.952.  So I made the change in the interpret footage dialogue in premiere, and it correctly shows the rate as 47.95.  But it will only create proxies at 50 fps.  I then created 47.952 proxies using Resolve, and when I attach those proxies, they still don't line up.  It appears to be playing the proxies SLOWER than 47.95, which is baffling.  

     

    Anyway...  if this is a feature request, then I'll add it there as well.  But it's a problem and 48p has been a standard for over a decade in the industry, so it's high time we have the option to work in it in Premiere.

      Thank you!!  Curiosity question: is there a technical reason why we can't have the option to enter any custom frame rate we want for export and sequence settings in PP / AME?  After Effects allows any frame rate at all, but I realize there might be reasons it can't work the same way in PP/AME.  In other words.... how big of an ask is it to have the ability to enter any old frame rate, as opposed to just getting, for example, 48 and 47.952 added as options in the dropdown menus?
