Media encoder won't create proxy footage for 4k 120fps footage.

Hello! I am trying to create proxies for shots using 4k 120fps, but Media encoder keeps outputting the files at 60fps instead of 120. When I try and work with the proxies in premiere they playback at twice the speed and cut the second half of the file. I tried modifying the export settings in the media encoder to match the source frame rate, but it still outputs to 60fps. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks for taking the time to help!

    Follow these steps, it should solve your issue.

     

    1 - In Media Encoder, create a new encoding preset.

     

    2 - Only H265 supports frame rates higher than 60. So you need to make the new preset with H265. Adjust the settings as you see fit just make sure it's 120FPS.

     

    3 - You need to create a new ingest preset based on the encoding you just created.

     

    4 - Export the ingest preset you just created.

     

    5 - In Premiere Pro, in the create proxies window, add the new ingest preset you just exported, et voila.

      as far as I can tell, prores can support this frame rate (at least from doing some googling).  Prores proxy is an excellent format and has some real advantages over a mpg format like hevc. certainly worth a shot.
