Question

Custom frame rate?

I am trying to acheive a stop motion like effect on my videos. I have right clicked on my sequence, selected sequence settings, changed editing mode to "custom", and then get a wider range of frames per second (10fps-60fps). But I need a lower fps than 10 to get a better looking stop motion effect. Possibly 6fps? I have tried right clicking footage, modify, interpret footage and then "assuming frame rate" but that gives a slow motion effect. This is in Premiere pro CC by the way. Thanks

If you want to make a stop motion video with 6 fps;

1. Set a timebase in multiples of 6 fps (for e.g: 30 fps)

2. Edit > Preferences > Timeline > Still Image Defult Duration > set as 5 Frames (because 30/6=5)

Now, every 6 photos takes 1 second

Formula:

Still Image Defult Duration = Timebase / you want

    Besides just achieving an effect look on your footage you can actually input custom framerates, but only if you have the AfterCodecs plugin as you can see in this article here by its developers: http://www.autokroma.com/blog/How-to-Export-Custom-Framerates-PPro-AME/

    It is a neat solution for filling gaps on the Adobe's built in exporters.

    Hope this helps!

    I have a similar problem. For cutting an old silent movieI'd need to create a sequence with a framerate of 20 or 16 frames per second (as used in old 16mm cameras). Is there any possibility? Will Adobe do some implementation of this in future or do you know any workaround?

    Many thanks!!

    Same answer. Look under Effects > Time > Posterize Time

    Apply the effect to the clip in the timeline, double-click the clip in the timeline to open in Source, go to Effects Controls and adjust Frame Rate as desired.

    How do you plan on outputting the sequence, i.e. what's your playback mechanism? Is your media coming in at 16 or 20 fps? Unless you plan on exporting at either 16 or 20 fps--which, technically, you won't be able to do with Premiere Pro anyway--you can use whatever frame rate source in a more standard frame rate sequence. Pr won't speed up or slow down the source footage when it's dropped into a sequence with mismatching frame rate; instead, it will simply duplicate or interpret frames as necessary to keep a 1:1 playback ratio.

    There are some workflow possibilities here, but knowing more about your source and intended output will help guide our recommendations.


    Ouch, Yeah I don't see a way to export 16 or 20 fps.

    I suppose you could drop to 15 (substitute for the 16) or go up to 60 and then use a 3rd party app to hack back down to 20 fps (QuickTime 7 Pro does allow for custom frame rates)

    Change the clip within a normal framerate sequence to achieve this "effect".

    There is an effect 'Posterise Time' ( IIRC)  that may suit you.
