Export 18fps sequence?

Engaged ,
Jun 06, 2019 Jun 06, 2019

Is there any way in Premiere to export a file that matches the sequence settings for 18fps and 16fps content transfered from Super8 and 8mm film?  Even with 'Match Source' checked in the export panel, Premiere seems not match and to force the export to 15fps.

If this is not possible in Premiere, it seems like a massive oversight.  Please tell me there is a way.

@michaels72175479,

 

I was just doing some tests on interpreting footage, so did a quick test out of curiosity as to the actual state of the current software. This thread has a bit of confusion at times, and is somewhat dated.

 

I did my tests on Win 11 PR release 25.5.0.

 

Arbitrary bit of footage. Interpreted it to 18fps. Created sequence from clip. Export as mp4/H.264 OR as quicktime/mov H.264. In each case, it shows a framerate of 18, confirmed after export.

Hi OldFilm; when I tried this I could NOT get it to export a batch of sequences with the correct framerate, nor could I import them to Media Encoder with the right framrate.  I had to export all 110+ films individually.  I put on "Bat outta Hell" and did it to the beat of the music, which made it a little more bearable.

UPDATE FOR HANDBRAKE:  If you're using a Mac, you can import an entire folder to encode, you do not have to import one video at a time!  The PC version shows you that option; the option is also there in the OS version but for some reason it doesn't show up.

voukoder is free and supports at least 18fps (Super8) export in various containers.

Thanks for the tip

Works perfectly (at least with Premiere CC 2015.2)

Side note: with Premiere CC 2015.2 you have to use this workaround to create a 18fps sequence : https://www.voukoder.org/forum/thread/799-18fps-export-in-premiere/
