60fps file in a 24fps sequence

[Lochmonster]

Hi,

Have a 60 fps file I was given to put in a 24 fps sequence without it looking "stuttery".

Tried exporting the original clip at 24fps and reimporting it but it still looks liek it's missing frames.

 A lot of advice says to modify the Interpret Footage frame rate but that just slows it down.

Any help woudl be greatly appreciated.

Either try After Effects (I've heard it's good at it) or you can try next not so simple way:

first up-convert to 120fps using Optical flow, then down-convert to 24fps using Frame Sampling. Ratio of upconverted fps to final fps must be integer, i.e. 120/23.976 wont work well, but 119.88/23.976 will do. I'm dunno if you can do this solely in Premiere Pro, but it's doable via AviSynth. Up-convert (2*FPS) script can look like this:

FFVideoSource("d:\1080p-60p_G5_night_avchd_psh.MTS")
AddBorders(8,8,8,8)
bs = 8
overlap = 0
mt=false
sc_full = MSuper(hpad=0,vpad=0)
pre = BilinearResize (width/2,height/2)
sc_ds = pre.MSuper (hpad=0,vpad=0)
bv_ds = sc_ds.MAnalyse (isb=true, blksize=bs, overlap=overlap, mt=mt)
fv_ds = sc_ds.MAnalyse (isb=false, blksize=bs, overlap=overlap, mt=mt)
bv    = MScaleVect (bv_ds,2)
fv    = MScaleVect (fv_ds,2)
MFlowFps (sc_full, bv, fv, num = 2 * FrameRateNumerator, den = FrameRateDenominator)
Crop(8,8,-8,-8)
Prefetch(6)

60 to 24fps, how to using Premiere Pro:

src 60fps -> seq 60fps -> duration 2x, Optical flow => export  clp1 (60fps, Cineform, 2x duration)
clp1 -> interpret 120fps -> seq 120fps  =>  export  clp2 (120fps, Cineform, 1x duration)
clp2 -> [interpret 120 if needed]  => sequence 24fps, done

Just a reminder, Optical Flow type fps conversion has its limits. Likely will be Ok for reallife footage but may not work well for 3D renders or gameplay captures.
