Question

30 FPS in a 24 FPS timeline

Hello,

 

I am creating a film that I shot in the begining at 30fps and have added 24fps footage. I hope to get the best quality with my footage. Im noticing the shots at 30fps look choppy as premiere automically removes additional frames to fit 24fps timeline. Can I fix this without manipulating the footage? Does premiere allow changes in frame rate for sections of a project to match the ideal frame rate of the shots?

 

Thank you to all for the consideration!

You can have many sequences (timeline). You can have 24 and 30fps sequences. But, I think it would be best to try different options like MG said. Try both, and take it all the way out to export to make sure you are moving on the best path.

Thank you! I have diffrent sequences with diffrent frame rates I still need to export in either 24 or 30 so setting at one or the other is best option based on what you are telling me. Thank you again for your help!

select a clip in the timeline and right click and choose "time interpolation."  You'll see there are 3 options, frame sampling, frame blending and optical flow.  frame sampling simply drops frames, frame blending will mix frames and optical flow will actually create new frames which can be pretty amazing or pretty terrible depending on the amount of movement and detail.  I'd suggest you try both editing into a 24p and 30 fps timeline and play with these options to see what gives you the best results..  Render the clips in the timeline to be able to judge the relative merits of each option.  ...  Is all your material progressive?  that can also be another complicating factor.

just realized that I didn't go into enough detail...  If you decide to edit 24p material  into a 30fps sequence, frame sampling will repeat frames, frame blending will repeat and mix frames and optical flow will create new frames...

 

And probably didn't explain any of the issues with combining progressive and interlaced footage.  Hopefully we won't have to go there, but if you will be mixing progressive and interlaced footage post back and hopefully someone can point you in the direction of the best workflow...    Again, testing various workflows is always advisable...
