Question

How do you set the frame rate for a frame animation?

I'm trying to export me frame animation at 24 fps, however, whenever I export it (regardless of what file type or frame rate I set it to) it automatically makes it 30 fps. How do I fix this?

    I am not sure animated GIFs can be that accurate, but 1/24 = 0.041667.  I was able to input that timing and it was accepted, but I am not sure how you could test the result.

    If you need it to be accurate, then you probably need to convert the frame animation to a video timeline, and use one of the 24fps presets in the Media Encoder

    Thanks for the response. I tried both methods, and my animation still only exports at 30 frames per second. Do you have any other ideas?

    Sorry for the confusion. I have a 960 frame animation that I want to render out at 24 fps to make a 40 second video. When I convert to video format, it makes it a 32 second video. This doesn't change when I change the framerate to 24. It also doesn't change when I render the video in a video format and set it at 24 frames per second.


    OK.  Try this.

    Convert the frame animation to a video timeline

    Click on the panel fly out (top right corner) and chose Set timeline frame rate, and change to 24

    Click on the fly out again, and choose Panel Options and change Frame number to Timecode (cyan)

    Move the time line pointer to the required time using the timecode as a guide, and drag the work area (green) to that point.

    I think that will set the duration of the clip when you render out

    If you are not sure about the length, then you can set the End Frame in the Media Encoder when you render out.
