Question

Transcoding 25FPS to 24FPS Frame to Frame

I've got some PAL footage at 25fps I'd like to transcode to 23.976fps. I would like a one to one correspondence of frames so my pans and zooms are more fluid. I understand this will slow down my footage slightly and I'm OK with that. Is there a way to do this using Media Encoder?

    Hi Martin,

    It should work. Have you tried it yet?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Kevin,

    Should work? When I asked if there was a way to do this in Media Encoder, I was wondering not only 'if,' but if so, 'how.' I posted hoping someone knew the 'if' and the 'how' and was willing (as so many here so often are) to share?

    I was working in Premiere when I posed this question (nine months ago, so details are foggy) and, after asking several other editors, eventually learned:

    How to modify the frame rate of a clip in Premiere

    Ctrl+click the clip and choose, from the Modify menu (in the top thirdish—is there an order to these menus? Really?), Interpret Footage. Then under Frame Rate, you can select, "Assume this frame rate:" and type in the value you like.

    NOTE: It's best to duplicate clip before changing fps. (Probably should have put this first) I usually replace 'copy' in the name of the copy with '24fps' or whatever's the rate to distinguish the two.

    And I'm sorry for not sharing back here when I found the answer; I do try to do that. There was a deadline and by the time it passed I'd forgotten. It takes a village and I'm letting y'all down.

    Again I am sorry and thanks,

    Martin

    Still would like to know if and how it works in Media Encoder.

    OK, I was doing other things entirely today, but just tried quickly to convert framerate in Media Encoder while keeping every frame. Couldn't figure it out quickly. Simply changing the frame rate does what you'd expect: maintains a 1:1 speed by losing or duplicating frames. Not what I wanted.
