I have this iPhone-recorded clip, shot in darkness with the native Camera app and set to 4K 30fps, Auto FPS on.
Therefore, I expect this clip to be 24fps.
The metadata of the file says:
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 25.978 FPS
Minimum frame rate : 24.000 FPS
Maximum frame rate : 30.000 FPS
Premiere Pro reports the frame rate of the clip as 25.97, which is in the file, but Resolve and FCP both bring this in as 24fps, which is what I expect.
Are Resolve and FCP using the Minumum Frame rate from this file? Seems like it, and it is "more correct" I argue since the Camera app settings will definitely lead me to expect this to be a 24 frame clips.
All this leads me to think Premiere Pro is choosing the wrong frame rate in this situation. If I create a new sequence from this clip that sequence is going to be or is going to encourage me to make it also 25.97, and who is served by having a 25.97fps sequence?
File attached.
Thanks for considering this issue!
