Panasonic AG-UX90 and frame rate conversion

I am considering upgrading from an older Sony VG20 to a Panasonic AG-UX90, which has revived great reviews. I have been living in a PAL country, so I have used 50p sequences and then converting it to 25p when exporting the sequences. The AG-UX90 only does NTSC 60p, 30p and 24p. I don’t use the camera for TV, just for weird little “art videos” occasionally used at festivals and art galleries so frame rate is not that important (though one now requires 24 fps). I also use a lot of slow motion. I’m starting to use 4k.

My question is that if I start exporting 60 fps as 24 fps, and occasionally bring in my 50p clips in a sequence with the newer frame rates... all to be exported at 24 fps, will this camera be OK (using time interpolation)? This camera is 2-3 k less (in NZD) than its more advanced sister models (such as the AG-UX180) which does 50 fps in addition to NTSC. Another option is to pay a little bit more for the older 4k Panasonic HC-X1000 which also does 50fps and would be consistent with my older clips. Any suggestions?

If the 50 fps clips are Modified to play at 24 (slow motion), you're good.

Sorry, what does " 50 fps clips are Modified to play at 24" mean?

Modifying clip properties with Interpret Footage in Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro Learn & Support

Ann, a festival in Australia (Channels) recently asked me to convert a video from 25p to 24p.

Jim, I don't think my problem is that the footage is interpreted incorrectly. I simply need to get rid of choppiness when going from 50p or 25p to 24p. It was solved by using optical flow (though I need to cut out all transitions and process them normally since optical flow does weird things to transitions).

However I do have an occasional footage problem. When I used to bring in different footage into a timeline -say dragging a 4k clip into 1080p sequence, it would come in fine (but it would ask to convert the sequence if another clip is not on the timeline). On the latest Premiere, only the audio comes in. I can no longer drag a 4k video onto a 1080p timeline, or a 90 fps go pro video clip onto a 25p timeline. I only can copy and paste such a clip from its own timeline into the smaller resolution or slower spreed sequence. ...but maybe this problem needs a new thread?

If I were you keep it all 50 and 25.

MIxing so-called ntsc framerate with pal-framerate can be a big pain in the ....

I'm thinking of switch all my video to a 24p output since its become a standard, so I suppose that I'd need to use the "optical flow" time interpolation and re-render clips either way, and take all future video at 24p? (I'm not sure if adobe has fixed the optical flow for transitions "bug" yet?) ...Or I'll need to spend another $800 NZD for the older HC-X1000.

Why do you think 24p is a standard?
