Need help with fps mistake in music video....

Hi!

So I shot all my regular speed footage in 24fps and my slow-mo at 60fps.

That would be fine usually...however I made the amateur mistake of shooting the artists playback at x2 - meaning the 60fps playback will only sync with the track if the speed is halved and footage interpreted down to 30fps.

This won't work well with my regular speed 24fps footage.

I was wondering what my best move would be now?

Worst case scenario I don't have much 24fps footage so I could just edit the whole video in 30fps.

But is there anything you would do differently so I could use all my footage seamlessly? Perhaps conforming the 60fps to 30fps then somehow bringing it down to 24fps without changing the speed? Is this possible?

Thank you for you help - hope I've explained it well enough

If you can't reshoot, try this:

Drop one of the 60fps clips in to After Effects, create a comp that is 48 fps and place the clip into it.

Turn on frame blending, then render out the clip.

Once rendered from AE, import the 48fps clip into Premier and drop it to the timeline, then set the speed to 50%.

See what it looks like and if the sync holds against the audio track.

You'll have to decide if it works for you.

Place the 60fps footage on the lifeline and set the speed to 40% (right click on the clip, choose Speed/Duration from the drop down menu, set the speed to 40%). 60 x.40 = 24.

Thanks for your help MtD!

Problem I have is that if the footage is reduced to 40% it won't match up with the music sync...which was played at double speed.

So I need to find a way to reduce the 60fps footage 50% but have it fit in a 24fps timeline...

I know the maths don't add up but I thought there may be a workaround I'm missing.

Thank you

"shooting the artists playback at x2"

What does this mean?

I was shooting the singer miming to the song at double speed so I could slow it down in post and match with the regular speed track.

Didn't think about the issues I'd face when interpreting the footage to 24fps...as its more than half the speed of 60fps. So her miming is out of sync.
