Convert 24fps to 25fps

Ok,
I know this is discussed in other posts discuss issues which seem to be close to this, but nothing which seems to quite answer my question. My camera shoots in DVCProHD 720p24, 720p30, 720p60. But I need to export my final project to PAL. I seem to get a lot of jerky motion through motion scenes. Even keyframed photos seem to jerk. I've exported a lot of tests through Compressor with the pre-set for high quality DVD, only changing the NTSC setting to PAL, and seem to get the same jerk regardless of whether I shot in 60fps or 24fps. Even if I put those shots into a standard PAL timeline.
Does anyone have a suggestion for best results when converting either the media for my timeline, or converting my timeline after completion?
Thanks,
Lawrence

Hey G,
A little more testing and I may have something here. I tried exporting the clip from the original 24fps timeline one more time, but this time, I used "Apple ProRes 422 for Progressive Material" from the Advanced Format Conversion>Apple Codecs. I then changed some of the settings as follows:
From the "Encoder" tab, I clicked "Settings" next to "Video" and changed the frame rate to 25fps
From the "Frame Controls" tab, I the frame controls on, and then:
Resize Filter--Better (Linear filter)
Output fields--Progressive
Deinterlace--Better (Motion adaptive)
Rate Conversion--Best (High quality motion comp)
Set Duration to: 24 @ 25
I should have done tests with one setting at a time, but I'm going to try to go back and do more testing tonight. But for now, I must admit that the result is very nice! I then imported my results into my 25fps timeline. This should mean I can just set my frame rate for new psd images to 25fps, and not worry about their motion. For pans or other motion shots that are jumpy, I'll try converting them using these settings.
You might be able to shed more light on what I've done as I don't really understand everything, but I was just sort of experimenting in the dark.

  • Converting 24fps to 25fps, HELP!!!!

    Hey! I'd really appricated it if anyone out there could gimme some advice. I'm trying to convert a quicktime rendered out originally from Scratch (grading software) it was rendered out at 24fps and i need to convert it in FCP to a 25fps quicktime, i have rendered it out before but it keeps adding frames to compensate for the time difference, i need it to not do this. I've tried using quicktime convertor and setting it at 25fps there, but everytime i import it back to FCP it tells me that the clip i just rendered is at 24! I've also tried using the export quicktime movie option but no matter what i've tried there it just adds the extra frames. The clip is DVCPRO-PAL.
    Please can anyone help me.
    Thanks,
    Esther.

    OK figured it out, converting the clip using cinema tools will give you correct 25 frame rate without the duplicate frames! hurray!!!!

  • How can I automatically change my edited timeline from 24fps into 25fps?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a timeline in 24fps with 24fps footage. I have to convert it (the timeline and the footage) into 25fps, so I can put a 25fps Timecode in it (it was a 24fps 16mm film material and it has to be rescan in 25fps...). Is there a way to do that? I mean beside of reedit everything in a 25fps timeline. The footage was quicktime prores 4444, I made merged clips of it and edited it then, so I have only merged clips on the timeline.
    I would be very thankful for any suggestions!

    Hi Richard, unfortunately I need to burn in Timecode from the source clips, so this won`t help me:/ but thanks for your answer! I think the only possibility for me is to create a new timeline in 25fps, modify the source footage from 24 into 25fps and reedit it. Is there any way to use command match frame (and reversed match frame) from merged clips in a timeline to source material from which I created the merged clips? so the source footage and not the used merged clip will be loaded into the source monitor? it would make a reedit much much faster...

  • Convert 24fps to 30fps (non-interlaced)?

    I need to convert a 24fps .mov to 30fps in AE.  I was wondering if you could suggest the best way for me to do so.
    I tried a '3:4 pulldown' at render time, but that results in interlacing.  Andrew Kramer's FPS converter script didn't seem to work for me in CS5 either.
    thank you for any recommendations provided.

    Can't be done in a single pass unless you want to just change the frame rate which would change the total length of the video.
    Adding 3:2 pulldown can only be achieved through interlacing. You could then, on a second render seperate the fields. The resulting footage would have a regular pattern of soft frames where two fields, each from a different frame, are blended together into a new single frame. The amount of the bluring depends on the motion withing the frame. The video would not look as goos and ad standard 3:2 interlaced video from a 24 fps source.
    Interestingly enough this brings up an interesting debate on film look and fps. When we were producing commercials for large ad agencies on 35mm film I always ran the camera at 29.97 frames per second and never at 24 because the resulting commercials just looked better. Sure, the broadcast video was still interlaced, but both fields were identical so we were really creating 3Op footage. It also sill looked like film because, well, it was film.
    The biggest question that your question brings up in my mind is why would you need to or want to do this? I can't figure out why 3:2 pulldown video would be unacceptable.

  • 24FPS to 25FPS TELECINE WORKFLOW

    Hey there -
    Just a quick check, If I were to have 24fps Film material telecined to 25fps DV CAM PAL tapes is the correct workflow the following -
    1. Import a log file into FCP or Cinema tools and create a new database
    2. Create a batch capture list
    3. Batch capture the clips
    4. Batch conform the 25fps material to 24fps in Cinema Tools
    5. Synchronize captured clips with Cinema Tools database
    6. Edit in FCP using the Cinema Tools 24fps from DV PAL easy set up
    7. Finish Edit and export an EDL for film scan to DPX files
    or would this be the correct workflow :
    1. Import flx file into FCP
    2. Batch capture
    3. Conform 25 to 24 in FCP and synch with Cinema Tools
    4. Check Lab data in Cinema Tools and correct any errors
    5. Edit using the 24 @ 25 Easy Set Up
    6. Export EDL or Cut/Pull lists from the Timeline in FCP
    Thanks in advance J

    Did you read the Cinema Tools manual?
    There is a section discussing 24 to 25 TK transfer.
    Sorry that I can't help further, I work in PAL but rarely with film. When we do we live with the 4% speed difference. I realize that there is a issue going back to a frame accurate 24fps film cut, it's just that you are asking for something very specific.
    Everyone here is a user just like you, so you need the magic combination of people who work in PAL, and deal with 24-25 film transfers on a regular basis. Most folks here are working with NTSC.
    Good luck. I hope you find an answer to your question.

  • How best to convert 24fps to 60fps?

    I would like to know the process to interpolate frames in a video recorded at 24fps to make it 60fps.Could anyone help me?

    You question begs a question from me. Do you understand frame rates? Why do you want to do that and what do expect to happen? Last question, what kind of 24fps footage do you have?
    Let's talk about kinds of 24 fps footage. First, there's real 24 fps footage, then there's 23.976 fps footage which was really 29.976 (ntsc) video which was recorded interlaced (59.97 fields per second) but has had 3:2 pulldown added which you typically get from a little older video camera with a 24fps option, then there is film originally shot at 24 fps but transferred to video using 3:2 pulldown.
    Let's talk about 60 fps as a playback format. First, if you video is ever going to hit television of cable then there is no such thing. Everything in NTSC land is 29.97 fps then interpreted as 23.976 and it's all interlaced. What that means is that if you send progressive footage to a broadcaster you get interlaced footage back but it looks progressive because you have pairs of identical fields. If you live in PAL land you get other options. If you are talking playback on the internet via YouTube or vimeo, the standard is still 29.97, 25, 23.976 or 60P if the receiving client has 60p equipement.
    If you truly have 24 fps footage with each frame a unique slice in time then when you "convert" that footage to 60 fps there are only two options. The first option is to just play back the footage at 60 fps which means 10 seconds on the clock will playback in 4 seconds so the motion will be sped up. 240 frames divided by 60 = 4.
    The second option is that you keep the playback time the same for your 10 second clip by playing back some of the frames more than once. You can either do that by adding a pull down scheme or using time remapping or a plug-in like Twixtor to take the pixels in 2 frames and calculate their new position in the frame based on their projected movement. For example, let's say frame 1 has a rotating pointer that is vertical and pointed straight up and in frame 2 the pointer is horizontal and pointed to the right. If you were converting to 48fps instead of 60 then you would need a new frame between 1 and 2 with the pointer pointed up and to the right at 45º. This is very difficult for software to do with 100% accuracy, especially if there is a lot going on in the scene.
    The only other scenario that I can imagine is that you have some true 60 fps footage that you want to use in the same project as your 24 fps footage. If that is the case, then the option I would pursue would be to create my project at 30 fps and use the 60 fps footage in that project and also import the 24 fps footage into the same project. If you have 60 fps footage that is really 60i or 60p then the frame rate is 59.97fps anyway and you could treat the footage as 29.97 with no degradation in quality or frame blending, then you would either re-render your 24 fps footage as 29.97 fps interlaced with 3:2 pull down added or just use it in your comp with frame blending added or use Twixtor to convert the footage to 29.97...
    So I guess we need to know exactly what kind of footage you have and what you are trying to do and what you are expecting to accomplish before we can give you a process that will solve the problem.

  • Convert 24fps to 60fps using twixtor?

    Hi folks
    I've got this 1080p 24fps (23,976) clip that I'd like to convert to 60fps. I tried using "frame blending" when exporting the clip to 60fps but that didn't look very well.
    My idea was to use Twixtor to create those extra frames that doesn't exist.
    Twixtor does a much better job creating those extra frames than premiere, the problem is I don't know how to get a slowmo clip play as 60fps?
    23,976 / 60 = 0,3996, so in theory I should be able to slow down my clip to 39,96% and then play it as 60fps in realtime, right?
    I'm using the latest version of Premiere CC on a new MacBook Pro. Would this be esier to do in AE?
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Patrik

    I am totally confused by your use of the terms "slomo" and "realtime".
    I'm kinda guessing you want to play a 23.976 fps (realtime/normal speed) clip at 59.94 fps realtime/normal speed, if that is incorrect, I apologize.
    The correct term for doing this is "Frame rate up-conversion" (use this for your Google searches)
    Twixtor can do this
    http://help.revisionfx.com/tutorial/148/
    And After Effects can do this
    http://creativeclouduser.com/converting-frame-rates-with-after-effects /
    Final quality can vary based on software and original footage.
    Tnx, this was exacly what I was looking for Basically I did exacly as the tutorial, except I changed the sequence settings to 60fps instead of interpret the footage. What is the difference in changing sequence settings and interpret the footage?

  • Convert 50fps to 25fps without choppiness?

    Does Final Cut Pro X have any methods for converting 50fps AVCHD Progressive video down to 25fps video, without it looking choppy? Rather than just chucking out every other frame, does Final Cut Pro X offer a way of blending the frames to retain some of the motion blur?

    OK, perhaps choppiness was the wrong word. I was trying to describe that stop-motion look you get when there's no motion blur.
    So, does Final Cut Pro X have a way of blending the frames in 50fps AVCHD Progressive video together to make a smooth 25fps video?

  • 24fps to 25fps project

    Hi Im a bit confused.
    I have some film clips that are examples of my work and were shot at 24fps. Ive made some qts from
    After Effects rendered as 24fps H.264. I realize that IDVD wants the footage to be bought in at 25fps.
    Ive tried rendering out of AE at 25fps with frame blending but the results are still not correct. I have a nice dvd project set up for 720x576 in which to put these qts and as this work will most probably be seen on computer monitors surely it doesnt need to be finished at 25fps. What would be the best route to take to get the best quality? The original material is 1920x1080

    First off, you need RAM - probably 16GB if you're going to do a full on, real documentary.  Please, research on your mobo and see what your RAM options are.
    To test whether CS5 will play your JVC files, import one and then click and drag it to the new item button on the bottom of the project panel.  you will see the mouse add a '+' button, let go and it will create a sequence based on the clips properties.  If it plays, you're good.  If it doesn't then you need to find out the specifics of the camera and/or file format that it uses.  It's not HDV at that point...
    24/25fps is kind of like 220v, 221 - whatever works... ;-)  Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 will resolve frame rates, aspect ratios and codecs transparently on the timeline.  So, if your timeline is ultimately for PAL, then choose a PAL timeline and throw down the 24fps material as needed, it shouldn't be a problem and will play and output correctly for your destination format.
    Finally, I'd suggest you read up on GPU's at Adobe Premiere Pro's page and consider investing in an nvidia Quadro or GeForce card to accelerate your effects and encoding.  This has been a bunch of the secret sauce that's made CS5 so successful.
    Hope you find this helpful,

  • 24fps and 25fps on one timeline. Separate sound sync problems?

    I'm editing in CS3. Most of the footage is in 25fps. But some in 24fps by accident. I have a way of changing the 24fps footage into 25fps but will this cause problems syncing sound, which was recorded separately?

    Well, there's a couple of way, but from what people have said, the easiest way is to increase the duration of the 24fps footage by 4% to bring it to 25fps. Otherwise, people have suggested that some of the newer versions of premiere pro will sort the problem out automatically by matching whatever frame rate to the sequence pre-set.
    Also, why is it necessary to match the frame rate of the clips ? Does it affect the editing process or the final product in any way ?

  • Convert 24FPS NTSC to PAL with 4% time change?

    I have a 24fps HD master and I've produced NTSC SD DVDs from this using Compressor. Now, for submission to a festival in Europe, I need to generate a PAL DVD. I would be very happy to do this as a frame for frame transfer and have the overall speed/running time slightly altered, RATHER than have the software (final cut or compressor?) try to interpolate my 24 frames into 25 frames per second.
    I can't find any doc with Compressor that clarifies whether this is possible.

    Jim, I'm out of my knowledge base here, but the forum seems to be semi-functional today, so here's my thought...
    IIRC, many European DVD players will read NTSC DVD's. (I'm sure others will clarify this if I'm wrong) This is not to say you should rely on that as a solution.
    I've seen this discussed here previously, so try searching the forum while you're waiting for better info.

  • How to convert 25fps Audio to 24fps ???????

    Hi,
    I hv just finished a music video and convertd it to 24fps from 25fps to make " FILM LIKE LOOK" in After effects.....now the audio seems out of sync and i tried to decrease speed of audio by 4% as i heard somewhere but it didn't work.. is this possible in Adobe..I am using Adobe CS5 Production premium....Or is there any free software in the market to fix this????? m sure m not the 1st havng this problem ...
    NEED HELP
    Regards

    You didn't say how you changed the timing in After Effects. Did you use time stretch? Time remapping? Conforming to a frame rate?
    Here's a relevant excerpt from After Effects Help:
    "Note: Conforming can change the synchronization of visual footage that has an audio track, because changing the frame rate changes the duration of the video but leaves the audio unchanged. If you want to stretch both audio and video, use the Time Stretch command. (See Time-stretch a layer.)"

  • How do you convert DV 30fps to 24fps?

    I am trying to capture DV 30FPS NTSC. I can't seem to capture it to another preset of DV Pal or any other preset. I want to know if its possible to convert my footage to 24FPS or 25FPS. Would I use the media manager after capture or is there something I can do during capture?

    Capture the footage as shot - you can't convert to PAL on capture.
    You can do pretty good standards conversion (post capture) in Compressor, details here:
    http://www.macworld.com/2006/02/secrets/marchcreate/index.php?pf=1
    I've tested this method and the results are pretty good. Or you could buy the Nattress plugins, which are excellent value.
    Don't convert till you're finished your edit, then just convert the master or final sequence.
    Remember also that the vast majority of PAL VCRs and DVD players can play NTSC, as can most newish PAL TVs, so you may not strictly need to convert at all.

  • Compressor 4 drops frames when converting 25fps image sequences

    I am using Compressor 4 to batch convert 30fps and 25fps 1080 tiff image sequences to Uncompressed 10bit 422.
    I have created custom presets for both 30fps and 25fps.
    The 30fps conversions are fine.
    But the 25fps conversions have missing or dropped frames and the resulting clip is too short. For example a 106 frame image sequence becomes 88 frames when converted to Uncompressed 10bit 422 QT. (which suspiciously similar to the 83.33% difference between 25 & 30 fps)
    I have double checked my setting and can not find a problem (see grab)
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    Update: I have found a work around for this problem, but it is not pretty!
    By using the 30fps setting even for 25fps sequences, every frame gets included in the resulting QuickTime. But it plays at the wrong frame rate, so I then use Cinema Tools to change the frame rate to 25fps. Then everything is fine.
    As Compressor 4 has been around for while, I can't believe this hasn't come up before!

  • Convert 30fps Motion template to 24fps

    I found info on the boards about converting 24fps to 30, but that does not seem to work in reverse.
    I have several (400+) motion templates created at 29.97, which I occasionally need to use at 24fps. When I drop them in the 24fps timeline in FCP, they are fine until rendering, at which point they get truncated. A 12 second intro, although still 12 seconds, only shows approximately the first 9 seconds of the template and abruptly ends.
    As a quick workaround, I tried simply fading it out at a convenient point in the intro, so it wouldn't look bad. However, changing the opacity forced a re-render and somehow it still didn't fade out at the right point. For now, I've been creating a separate sequence at 29.97 with just the intro, filling the drop zones, titles, etc, exporting a QT movie, bringing it into compressor to transcode to 24fps and then re-importing into the original timeline.
    I tried creating a new 24fps project in motion, copying all the layers from the 29.97 template project and pasting them in, but that also didn't work. To show the whole project, it needed to be approximately 14 seconds. Is there a way, short of completely recreating the projects from scratch, to get this to work? And yes, I know this may all become horribly broken in a few weeks when they release the new version.

    I'm sorry I don't have a good answer aside from what you're trying - rendering out a QT movie and putting that in your timeline...
