Hi all,

I am wanting to dabble a little in video.

I have a sony a7iii set to 25fps that I used to take some video at my son's 21st.   I also used my Samsung 8+ that was set to 30fps.  How would I create a timeline in premiere pro that provides me with consistent footage.

Sorry if I am being a little vague, but I don't know if this is possible.

I really look forward to your responses.

Thanks

Ilias

Premiere does an awesome job of working with videos that have differing frame rates. I would create a timeline with the video that is used most often in your production. (Drag the video into a blank timeline or on to the new item button) delete the video from the timeline and then start the editing process.

Correct! Exporting should be no different.

What location are you in? Most European countries use the PAL video system, with 25fps while the US and some other countries use NTSC system with 30fps (29.97 really).

If in the PAL world, I would edit in the 25p timeline for best results. Easier to remove some frames from the 30p clip than to duplicate frames in the 25p clip to get it up to 30p, which would add some jerkiness from repeated frames. So edit 25p and export 25p then in that case.

Technically, in today's world where many folks are not intending to ever make a DVD or Blu-Ray and footage may only be viewed on computer/online and not on a television, then frame rate matching the locale is less important than it otherwise might be. But I would still try to shoot, edit and deliver in the "local" frame rate for consistency.

Thanks

Jeff

I would qualify that.  Premiere Pro is good at working with different frame rates that are part of the same TV system.  24, 30 and 60 are all part of the ATSC spec, and you're fine mixing those together.

25 and 50 are part of the PAL TV system, and you're fine mixing those together.

However, PP is not so good at mixing ATSC and PAL frame rates together.  This is the situation here.

For a personal project, one may have to live with the results.  For a professional project, I would recommend either not using one set of footage, or sending it out to a facility that has hardware converters to convert one camera's footage to the frame rate of the other.

My experience is that mixing socalled ntsc framerate with pal framerate is not such a succes.

Depending on the region you live I would convert 30 to 25 or vv first before adding to timeline.

Hi All

Thank you all so much for the responses. I live in Australia so i guess we fall under PAL.

I will play around in PP. I have no formal experience, but YouTube has been a great resource.

So i guess in future if i wanted to, i could also bring in 50, 60 and 100 fps if i wanted to slow footage down.

Once again, thanks so much.  I will get back if i struggle with PP. 

Cheers

Any fps footage can be used if you're going to Modify it to the standard you're using.  It's only trying to mix ATSC and PAL in real time that things often get wonky.
