Question

How do I change an existing project from 1080p30 to 1080p60?

Hi there,

 

Please Help!

 

I have a bad problem. I created a 1080p30 FPS project and imported a bunch of 1080p60 FPS videos in Premier Elements 22 and did a huge edit. Once I went to Export the project I realized that my project was 30FPS and therefore the video quality wasn't close to what it could've been. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to either make the existing project a 1080p 60FPS project, or somehow copy this project into a 1080p 60FPS project. Any ideas?

 

Btw, when I check the properties on my video media in this 30FPS project, the clips say that they are 30FPS, so I don't even know if what I want to do is doable coonsidering when I added the media to the project, it seemed to convert the clips from 60FSP to 30FPS. Is there a way to just export the timeline events themselves? And then import the edit itself into a new 60FPS project and then just add the media to it?

 

Thanks!

It is impossible to change project settings in Elements or copy/paste from one project to another. I think this is a big flaw in the program

Workaround:

Changing Project Settings in Premiere Elements - YouTube

    Thanks for your help. After looking at that Youtube video and after further review I discovered 2 things. Most of the videos I used for my project were actually 29.97 videos so that is not Elements fault. Their properties were accurate.  I also discovered that during project creation, when editing 60FPS videos that I need to be special careful to select the right project format at project creation time because apprently I've editing a bunch of 60FPS videos in 30 FPS projects and exporting them as 30FPS by accident.
