Project properties Frame rate locked

Goog Morning,
I have a problem with Motion, in the Project properties I have the Frame rate locked. See pictures: http://www.lightimage.ch/deposito/2
If I choose CUSTOM I can't modify the frame rate. I tryed to choose HDV 1080i50 but the frame rate remain 29.97, (see: http://www.lightimage.ch/deposito/3) I click OK but if I return in Project properties, the frame rate is again 29.97.
Anyone can help me?
The video settings is:
HDV 1080i50 PAL
Thank you very much.

hi,
you cant modify the frame rate once a project has been created. Once you open Motion you should be asked of you want to start a new project or other. You can select in the general preferences what you want motion to do at start-up. Choose new project, then you should be able to choose custom, from there you will be able to select the frame rate. You can then save this is a default empty project if you wish

Msi GeForce 4 4200 frame rate locked at 60 with Windows 2000

Lost here..... I have an MSI Geforce 4 4200 120MB Video Card slotted on an Asus A7V motherboard - AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz processor with 640mb of ram.
There is a common problem with the Nvidia chip and Windows 2000 in regards to a lock frame rate at 60fps within games.
I've tried several programs to fix this i.e. "Refresh Lock", "Windows 2000/XP Nvidia Refresh rate lock", "PowerStrip 3.15" and "NVFresh Tool 1.0"
But nothing seems to work. I'm sure these program work with older Nvidia cards but not with GeForce 4.
Any Ideas? I even turned the Vsync off and on.
HELP!

(A little advice: If you can, dump XP and install a copy of Windows 2000 second edition. They both have the same KERNAL but I find that Win 2000 is much more compatible for now. I give XP 2 more years before it's the OS for all. I've reinstalled 6 systems with Windows 2000 because of compatibility problems.)

Clips Conforming to Project Properties - Sometimes

Having preset custom properties for a new Project, is there a way to have ALL clips added to that Project/Timeline (whether inserted, appended, dragged, whatever) automatically conform to those custom settings, in particular the frame rate?
I've spent the past few hours testing every subtle variation I can think to test, but the result is still that SOME clips get correctly converted and some don't -- but the exact SAME clip will get processed correctly in one Test Project, yet not in another, and I just can't determine a consistent reason why.
(I've added full workflow details below.)
Am I overlooking something obvious, or is this kind of baffling behavior -- wherein clips sometimes conform to specific Project Properties and sometimes don't (and the SAME clip gets processed differently in different Projects, each created with the SAME Property settings) -- just another "feature" of the new Final Cut?
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,

PROJECT SPECIFICS:
- Original media is AVCHD 1920x1080 files acquired on a Canon HF-10 camera at the "24p" setting, which a colleague refers to as "24f", as in "24-fake";
- the files are actually 29.97i with every fourth frame repeated, so after import, viewing them from the Event Browser one frame at a time, the pattern for every five frames is A-B-C-D-D, A-B-C-D-D, etc.
- So if I simply let the new Project's properties be determined by the first clip, it will become a 1920x1080 29.97i project;
- But if I custom set the new Project's frame rate to either 24p or 23.98p, and THEN add Clip1, an orange render bar (are we still supposed to call them that?) appears briefly overtop Clip1, after which -- SOMETIMES -- Clip1 now plays with that pulldown-simulating extra frame removed, in a smooth, true 24fps timeline.
- And that's exactly what I want to have happen, by default, with EVERY clip I add to this particular project; the trouble is: I can't make it happen consistently. Sometimes the render bar appears when I add the new clip; sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes even when it does appear, the end result just for that clip (and only on the timeline) is a horribly stuttery A-A-B-B-C-C-D-D-E-E.... cadence. (And that's after making sure ALL rendering is completely finished.) Other times -- grabbing the EXACT SAME CLIP from the Event Browser, but placing it in a new 24fps timeline -- the "conversion" works perfectly, and the clip on the timeline now plays smoothly at 24fps with no repeating frames anywhere.

24fps does not have pulldown. You're just changing the frame rate and Streamclip is reconforming it as best it can with frame blending. 24fps is not supported in FCE and should not be used.

Relink project clips with different frame rate

Somehow the clips in my project sequence ended up with a different frame rate (25) than the original media files (23.95), and they are no longer linked -- maybe this happened during import from iMovie. When I try to relink project files to source media, I get an error message saying they cannot be relinked because they have a different frame rate. I changed the sequence framerate to 23.95 (by creating a new project with 23.95 as the frame rate, then copying and pasting the other timeline into it), but all the clips remain at 25, so the problem remains.
How can I change the clip properties to frame rate 23.95 so I can link to the original media?
Thanks.

The media got unlinked importing the project and events from iMovie to Final Cut.
I've attached screen shots with all the specs.

Can't Change Frame Rate in Properties

To change project properties in FCPX you click the wrench icon, which brings up a window to select 720p, 1080p, etc as well as frame rate. The problem is, there are no options in the dropdown for the frame rate in all of my projects, it chooses one automatically (seemingly arbitrarily) and you can't change it.
I thought that when the progam says it would detect the properties of the first clip and adjust the project properties to match, it would actually do that (maybe I should have known better). So I imported my standard 1080p 29.97fps footage from my Canon 7D and then FCPX automatically set the project properties to...720p at 24fps. Curious, no? No problem, I thought, I'll just go to Project Properties and manually correct FCPX. But it was not to be, as FCPX had decided to give me only one option in the frame rate selection: 24p. But no, I thought, I would very much like my properties to be 29.97 so as to match my footage. But FCPX did not agree with this, and would not change its mind.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Do any pros still use Final Cut Pro?
Thanks,
Kurtis

It may be possible that a .jpg was the first thing in the project, which may explain the seemingly random properties (why wouldn't they just make it default to a more common setting like 1080p 29.97?) but I digress.
And it's a very stupid move to revoke the ability to change project properties while clips are in the project, that makes no sense.
I'm begining to think that Apple has really failed with this new version of Final Cut; and I've been using Final Cut for years. I am debating switching to Premiere, but I will give FCP X a bit more time to redeem itself.

FCPX Mixed Frame Rates? 30fps AND 24fps in same project?

Just got done doing a multicam shoot for a large event where I had multiple people helping me out. We all shot at 1080p on a variety of Canon DSLR cameras and a Go Pro and a MiniDV Consumer Cam. I thought everyone got the memo to shoot at 30fps, and most everyone did, however one of my Canon cameras shot at 24fps. I know I've heard in the past mixing frame rates can cause issue in other programs, and I know FCPX can handle multiple frame rates, but what sort of trouble am I in for if I want to use footage from cameras using 30fps and a camera using 24fps in the same final product? Is the 24fps stuff going to choppy or weird if I use it in a 30fps sequence/project? My final deliverable at this point can be 30fps or 24fps, it is not stated and I want to make sure evrything looks good so what should I set my project settings for? Any ideas?

Ah - no - conforming simply resets the frame rate information. You should re-conform it back to 29.97...
Here's what I think you'll need to do. If the majority of your material is at 23.98, make your main sequence that. Cut everything at that 23.98 - you'll have to render any 29.97 material then, but when you've locked picture, look at the sections with 29.97 stuff and if it looks okay, just skip to making the DVD. If it doesn't, you'll have to insert a pulldown by exporting your sequence then bringing the quicktime back in, adding a pulldown with Shake ($500) or Nattress frame rate converter ($99) - OR try this - edit it to tape and a pulldown will be inserted, then recapture.
Once you have a 29.97 version of your clip, cut it into a 29.97 sequence and re-cut in the 29.97 material (now you won't need to render). Then export for your DVD.
Now - after all this, are you sure that your 30fps material is NOT 29.97 with a pulldown? Did you check this yet?

What project settings should I choose in PE8 for frame rate of 29.97 if camera source unknown?

Hi, I would like to know what project settings to choose in premiere elements 8 for a frame rate of 29.97, pixel aspect ratio of 1.3333 and 1440x1080? Should I choose HDV, AVCHD or hard disk? I didn't record the footage, so I'm not sure what it was recorded on.

I am definately selecting NTSC - HDV, HDV, 1080I30. I then import the video. It shows in the project media - properties as 29.97 frame rate and in the interpret footage it also shows as 29.97. But when it finishes indexing and starts to conform the video is changes to 25 frame rate.
Please see images below. When importing the video it is at a frame rate of 29.97 until the indexing has finished, then it changes to 25 before conforming video
IMAGE 1. Project settings
IMAGE 2. Indexing image. frame rate at 29.97fps
IMAGE 3. Properties while indexing video - 29.97 fps
IMAGE 4. Interpret footage - still while indexing at 29.97fps
IMAGE 5. Finished indexing changes to 25 fps and starts to conform video?

Help with sequence settings in final cut for project with 2 different frame rates.

I really need help with this one! I finished editing a wedding video and realized after exporting that it was filmed in two different frame rates. This has happened before but I converted the footage to match and fixed the problem. In this case, the footage is part 30fps and part 60fps. The majority of it was filmed in 30fps. I cannot convert the 60 to 30 without the slow motion effect which I do not need so I have to find a way to burn this to a DVD without it looking messed up! The video was shot with two Canon 7ds if that helps anything. The first sequence I set at 29.97 and exported as a quicktime movie and all the footage filmed in 60 looked perfect and the footage in 30 looked jittery. Then I tried the sequence at 59.97 and it switched. The footage filmed at 30 looked good and the 60 was cropped in. I am so confused! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help Michael! The frame rates are 29.97 1920 x 1080 and 59.94 1280 x 720. I did a control click on the clips in final cut and viewed the item properties/format to find this info. The Canon 7d is a DSLR but we use it for video. As for my workflow, the first thing I do is import the footage onto my computer and then drag the clips into mpeg streamclip. I choose apple prores 422 and uncheck the interlaced box. Once this is done I import the .mov files into final cut. The sequence automatically sets itself to whatever clip I drag in first so it originally set as 29.97. When I finished editing wedding video, I export it to a quicktime movie and choose whatever settings match the sequence, in this case apple prores 422 1920 x 1080 30p. Once that is done I use iDVD to burn the discs.
I knew something was wrong when I watched the quicktime movie and all the 30fps footage was jittery and most of the cross dissolves looked strange. That's when I figured out the footage was at two different frame rates. What I don't understand is why whatever the sequence is set at in final cut, the clips of the opposite frame rate look right but the clips set at the matching frame rate don't???

Are different frame rate clips automatically conformed to that of the project?

I have a 25p project and have dropped in some clips shot at 30p.
I thought I would have to conform those clips to play at 25p but they appear to be doing that already and to my surprise there is no orange render line above them.
Is this correct and if so, would any other frame rates (50p or 60p etc.) be conformed to 25fps with no rendering required?

YYes, clips conform to the project frame rate.

Importing EDL project frame rate is always 23.98

Hi There,
I'm importing a 24 frame EDL. All of the import settings are set to 24 fps. However on import, the project frame rate is always 23.98.
I have added the number 24 to the defaulteframerate section of the preferences file, but no luck.
Anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks

Just a wild guess since I don't normally work in 24 fps... all of us NTSC-biased types accept that 23.98 (more accurately, if not absolutely precisely expressed as 23.976) is the "pull-down" frame rate that results from a telecine transfer, and is the rate that is assumed, corresponding to 29.97 or 1000/1001.
This framerate is emulated in a number of "Digital Cinema" electronic origin formats.
Absolute 24.0000 fps is a bit rare in these parts and in reality probably would only come up if one were working with a dpx image sequence properly scanned, not telecined.
Not saying that 24.000 does not exist -- I'd say that it is just as uncomfortable a fit in 25 fps-land as it is here! And Color / Final Touch has been notoriously bad with 25 fps.
good luck and merry christmas....

How can I change the frame rate of a project in imovie 10?

My problem is: I made a gopro movie with a frame rate of 50 fps. I imported it to imovie. So far so good.
Scrubbing over the clip i found one single frame which looked amazing. So I draged some seconds of that clip into the timeline (the project if you will).
The goal was to make a freeze frame out of this "spezial" frame.
Unfortunately I could not find this frame in the timeline any more - it's gone.
I think imovie dropped half of the frames to fit the clip into the projekt, which I assume is using 24-25fps.
The only solution I found is to decrease the speed of the clip to let's say 50%.
But is there a better way?
Can I change the frame rate of the projekt somehow? I think it was possible in imovie 11.
many thanks
Rainer
(from austria)

iMovie 10 won't share at 50 fps and so for 25 fps output probably drops every other frame. This is different from Imovie 9 which could handle 50 fps. However, if you do 50% speed it will use all the available frames so that is indeed the way to find the frame you want. After you have made a freeze frame I think you can switch the clip back to normal speed. I am not aware of a better way in iMovie 10 By the way there is also no facility to export a still of a frame in iMovie.
As a GoPro user I think FCP 10.1 would be the best choice.

How do you change the frame rate (or fmp) of a project once you have already started?

I have been working on a project for a long time now, and I just reliezed that the frame rate of the project was 25 where as all my clips were in 30. Is there any possible way for me to change the frame rate even though I've already started the project? or do I have to start again?
thanks

Hi,
I've had a really good search through our documentation and website but there's no previous record of that error code. However, a quick google search turned up lots of things on MatLab user groups and the MathWorks forums.
MatWork's official stance is that the PCI 7342 is not supported in MatLab. They have a list of supported hardware here:

How to export a flash project with a changing frame rate to a video

I have a Flash project that is a series of roughly 1000 images. The result of the images is a simple animation, and there is music imported on a separate layer.
There are moments in the music that I wanted to line up with certain frame changes, and there are sections of the music that I wanted to match up with a faster (double-time) frame rate.
I used this code in several places in the a code layer:
stage.frameRate = x;
The result is exactly what I want in SWF -- the animation speeds up and slows down at the exact right moments to match up with the music track, but it seems like it's just not possible to export this variable frame rate project to a video file?
According to the accepted answer on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4019538, it seems that:
The export function in Flash Pro doesn't transcribe *frames*, rather it plays the Flash animation and records it like a camcorder
If that's true, then I would think there is a way to record a variable frame rate project into a video -- does anybody know if this is possible?

That or Premiere would both get the job done. After Effects might be more desirable as it has a feature called Time Remapping (right-click on the video layer, Time->Enable Time Remapping). You can add keyframes to any point in a video and then drag them around to speed up or slow down the video. That'll allow for very precise tweaks.
Finally all I'd suggest is when you jump into your next project, make a quick dummy test project to see if the software you're using is easily capable of producing what you want. It'll solve the headache of completing the project only to land where you are now. Now you know Flash won't play nicely with scripts and Export Movie. If your desired end result was always a video I'd probably use video editing software to make the video. There's some free stuff out there if you really look, but no, it won't be as nice as After Effects or Premiere by any stretch. Although when you see how amazing After Effects is, you'll probably want to buy it .

Istopmotion. how can i change the frame rate in a project?

so i finally got istopmotion and i love it. its a bit tricky using the built in isight to grab shots but i am getting an external one. anywho, i was wondering if there is a way, once you have started working on a project, if you can change the framerate. i started a project, got pretty far into it, and found it was too fast. i'm probably just gonna redo this project but i wanna know for the future. thx

When you open up a new project you select your frame rate (same place where you select the format of your project). You could always slow/speed things up when you edit later in FCS or whatever you like to use for video editing.

Mixing frame rates in project?

I know this has been discussed a bit on other posts. But I couldn't quite find the angle/issue I'm working with. It's mainly a 24fps film, but I have to use 29.97fps archival material. The end output is 24fps. If I just edit the different frame rate clips as is on the timeline and output ... will my 29.97 be converted 'smoothly' into the final exported movie? Or will I have stuttering issues? And is there any advantage in converting all my 29.97fps to 24fps (individually) and then re-inserting them back into the film?
In a couple of shots I can see what looks like a slight fluttering in a subject moving back and forth horizontally (not particularly fast either).
I just attempted to do a test, to convert the 29.97 to 23.98. A puzzle: there seems no way to export out the clip at a different frame rate (if it's a 29.97 on a 29.97 timeline). I'm stuck with the 29.97.
If I try to modify the project with the 29.97 clip in it already - the modification won't allow me any choices beyond the 29.97.
If I create a NEW project at 23.98 fps, and then drop the 29.97 clip into it ... the clip CHANGES the project back to 29.97, and I'm still stuck with the same problem.
If I don't want to go to another app like Compressor, what might be the trick here?

I converted a clip from 29.97 to 23.98 using Compressor. I have to say, it looks better than what I'm getting from the 'mixed frame-rate' timeline in FCPX. Am I imagining this do you think? Smoother.
