30fps drone footage in a 25p time line

[Dan30520938fkar]

Hi team wondering if anyone can help...

I have some drone footage shot at 50fps. Because it is fast moving over landscape it becomes jittery when interpreted into 25fps. So the solution to this as I understand it is to interpret at 30fps and the jitter is largely reduced. Great... however: 

I have to have my timeline set up at 25p because the client wants to have the more cinematic look 25fps brings (the motion blur). 

The A cam on the shoot was 50fps which has been interpreted to 25fps for the edit as we want to keep the slow mo. 

So does anyone know how I can keep the drone footage at 30fps to avoid jitter, and still have that work in my 25fps timeline ?

Additionally, does anyone have any tips for making 30fps drone footage have the motion blur that will match the look of 25fps? 

Many thanks

Hey Dan,

Could you slightly change the clip speed (Ctrl + R or Command +R on Mac) and set the Time Interpolation to Frame Blending or Optical Flow? Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Strange, interpreting 50 fps footage into 25 fps in a 25 fps sequence should not introduce jitter (interpreting as 30 fps should do that!). Anyway, you may find Dan's sugestion of changing speed to be useful.
