60p on 24p timeline now looks weird

[alexm48624398]

Hey everyone,

I typically film weddings in 60p and then slow it down on a 24p timeline, but the wedding that I'm editing right now looks like a really weird framerate when I slow it down to 40%, almost like soap operay. My settings are the same as they've always been, it just looks like the motion is way different? Does anyone else notice this? Can I try some other settings to help it? Thanks!

There is a better way to make your clip turn into slow motion:

1. Right-click the 60fps Clip in your Project Panel.
2. Select 'Interpret footage'
3. Set 'assume framerate' and make it match your sequence FPS — In your case, that's 24.
4. Now drag that clip into your sequence.

You'll get the perfect smooth slow-motion playback, because the fps perfectly align.

It avoids internal rounding issues.

also, you can explore "time interpolation" options by right clicking on the clip in the timeline...  Optical Flow is sometimes (and sometimes not) amazing.  Worth a test...

Should not the timeline be set to 23.976?

just checking to see if you're replying to my or JayB80's post.  and have you tested the 2 "solutions" to see which solved your problem?

Selecting the "interpret footage" to 24p made it look better. Thank you!
