Hello, I've shot my footage in 60fps and am trying to switch it to 24fps in Premiere by using the interpret footage option on my clip but it's not adjusting my clip at all. Can anyone help? This always worked for me before.

    For anyone still having this problem: if you're working with proxies they won't interpret. You have to create proxies for media after it's been interpreted, so delete the proxies for any 60fps footage you have, interpret, then make proxies for them again.

    Thank you, I was having this exact issue and it was the proxy files that was giving my the problem!

    When you interpret footage, the changed frame rate appears in the Frame Rate column, which reflects how Premiere is interpreting the file.

    If you click on that interpreted clip and check the clip properties, the properties shown are the properties of the source clip on the disk, not the intercepted properties.

    For instance this clip is interpreted to 23.97:

    But the properties of the source file are still displaying the clip's native frame rate:

    I am having this problem too, and though I read what Meg The Dog wrote, it isn't really helping me as my footage is still Playing at 60 frames per second and I need it to slow down. Also on some of my other footage that I have slowed down it is actually reflected in the properties. So I am a bit confused. I did the same thing to each clip and for some reason Some clips are working and the others arent. I shot them all on the same day at 60fps and I just want them all to be 30fps. I don't know what I am doing wrong?

    You can leave them as is and set speed to 50% and check optical flow.
