Standard frame rate for 1080p NTSC?

Hello and thanks for having me! Very new(b) to Adobe Premier, so I'll throw something basic out, thanks for your advice:
the short version:
What is the 'standard' framerate for NTSC 1080p? Does this framerate differ from what you would use for output at 720p,
and would you choose different framerates depending on delivery method (web vs. bluray)?
the long version:
I have at my disposal a very capable rig to work on, and just doing some basic editing for my audio CV reel. The source material is usually 1080p and sometimes 720p, whether it be streamed into my capture card HDMI from playback sources, or full production originals which I have scored for clients.
Therefore, while editing my reel together, I'd like to work at full 1080p and downconvert for smaller formats afterword.
However, I am very new to video editing, and not sure what framerate to work in. I see the available selections of NTSC 1080p at several framerates,
and I am aware of all available framerates in the US and abroad, so my question is:
What is the standard frame rate for NTSC 1080p used for BluRay or highbandwidth web transmission? Some are telling me 'use 60, its standard'. Others tell me its 24. Still others say 24 is only for working with film, or interpolating other sources to 'make your stuff look like film'.
Thank you for any answers or resources, and have a nice evening!

For Blu-ray you can have two frame rates at 1080 resolution, 30 fps interlaced, or 24 fps progressive. 1080p/30 will not go onto a Blu-ray.
At 720 resolution, you can have 60 fps or 24 fps, both progressive.
If you want to work at 1080p, your only option is 24 fps.
Web delivery is a different matter. There are no defined standards and pretty much anything you like will play on the web.
(On a side note, drop and non-drop frame refers strictly to the timecode information, and does not regulate frame rates.)

Best frame rates for 4 different cameras in multicam

Well, I've been flopping around in different threads on this forum, but I think the question is beginning to finally take shape for me. Basically it's all about deciding on frame rates for four different cameras I will be using to shoot a 6-day intensive course I will be teaching. The video will be primarily for computer viewing (YouTube, Quicktime movies). Here are the cameras:
2 new Canon cameras capable of frame rates of 60i, 30 frames per second progressive "recorded as 60i", and 24 frames per second progressive also "recorded as 60i" (there is a known issue with importing the 30 frames per second into fcpx, as fcpx does not recognize this as progressive, but ClipWrap can get around this).
1 Sony capable of 60i, 60P, and 24P
1 Sanyo capable of 60i and 30P
Possible settings:
Just do all at 60i, but people say this is not so good for computer viewing
Canon at 30 fps (using ClipWrap to see it gets recognized as progressive), and the Sony and Sanyo at 60i. Will this cause syncing or other problems, mixing frame rates like this? How bad a hit in quality is 60i on computer screens?
Canon and Sanyo at 30 fps, Sony at 60i
Same as #3, but use JES Deinterlacer to get Sony 60i to 30 fps.(I tried this out, by the way, and the resulting frame rate, after deinterlacing, showed up in the inspector window at 30, not 29.97. Is that a problem?
Anyway, I aplogogize for wearing out my welcome on this forum, and I thank everyone for creating such a wonderful bank of information.

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here - for the best overall quality, if possible, choose a frame rate that all the cameras can achieve. That way you won't lose quality in the conversion.
If you're not satisfied with that, you need to do some tests to see which gives you the effect you like best. Nobody here can help you really - it's up to you.

Frame rate for FLVs in FLEX, 10, 12, or 15?

We are using Flex to create a rich internet application that
delivers a lot of video which is then synchronized with a series of
screen events. Our concern has to do with the frame rate for the
FLVs. We are shooting at 30fps and have been told that the delivery
should be a multiple of 30, hence either 10 or 15fps. But Flex is
at 24fps, so we were wondering if the FLV should be delivered at
12fps. Any advice?

you need to optimize your code/display especially if you're creating an app for a mobile device.
one of the easiest things to do is to enable the cacheAsBitmap property of most movieclips and assign a cacheAsBitmapMatrix to those movieclips that would benefit.

Why do I get low frame rate for games while charging?

I have a Lenovo g505s laptop , and when I play games while charging(plugged in) , the frame rates for every game drop to 15-20 fps. Is there any driver update that I require? Or any other solution to this problem?

How to sync NTSC and PAL clips to same frame rate for multicam edit

Hi there,
First time poster so sorry for the newbie question. I'm trying to get 2 standard NTSC clips and 1 standard PAL clip about a hour long each which shot the same event at the same time, to sync up so that I can go to multi-cam and edit them like a movie sequence. I tried that, but they start unsyncing about 10 minutes in. I gather it's because of the different frame rates. I tried using "interpret footage" and changed the PAL 25fps to 29.97fps and everything got sped up. I tried rendering the PAL clip as an NTSC clip but it ended up looking a bit fuzzier. As I want to end up with an NTSC clip in the end, how can I make these clips sync up properly?
Any, tips to help this newbie greatly appreciated with many thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
It's not always so easy to do NTSC <-> PAL conversions, and it's impossible to do them in Premiere while maintaining any degree of quality.
You can do a good job of this with AviSynth (freeware) but the learning curve may be a bit steep for a newbie. I also hear that ProCoder ($500+) does a good job of this but I've never tried it.
As for the sync, you can chop up your PAL clip within the muticam sequence (leaving some "holes") and match up particular points manually. You'll obviously have to edit around the holes.

How do I change a pixel aspect ratio from HD 1920x1080 frame rate 25 to NTSC 640x480 frame rate 29.97

I upload files to a tv channel, but for them to air, they need to have a NTSC 640x480 pixel aspect ratio with a frame rate of 29.97. I currently have a .mov file HD 1920x180 frame rate 25. I deleted the original unedited files so all I have is the .mov file. I need to make my file NTSC 640x408 frame rate 29.97
Thanks please answer ASAP

If you aren't entirely happy with the image quality you get from this in FCP. consider buying Compressor ($49). Down-converting from HD to SD often introduces artifacts. Compressor has a resize filter that does a good job of minimizing those artifacts.

Export XML in right frame rate for resolve?

Hi!
I'm in serious need for some help! When I import my exported XML sequence from premiere in to DaVinci Resolve 10 lite, I get an error message saying "The imported sequence frame rate (25) must be the same as the project frame rate (23,976)." All of my settings in Premiere that I can think of is set to 23,976fps, but if I understand the error message right, DaVinci claims the XML is 25fps... doesn't make any sense at all. I've tried for several hours now getting this to work, but it won't.
I would really appreciate some help with this one, I'm in a hurry (as always, we're behind schedule). Worked with Davinci many times before, never had any problem with it.
Regards
/Patrik

I am not a Resolve user, but could it be that Resolve has been set up for a 25fps project? And maybe the lite version restricts your frame size?
Just curious.

Frame rate for camera does not match with AVI output

Hello,
I'm taking a video from a Basler A504K camera of well plate bottoms deflecting down. I have a frame rate indicator from the Vision Acquisition to see at what fps the camera is acquiring images, and I also have a frame rate controller at the IMAQ AVI Create VI.
The problem is when I set the frame rate at the Create VI. The higher I set the frame rate, the fewer frames it seems to take. For example when I play the videos on Windows Media Player, at 10fps, the video length is 60s. At 100fps, the video length is 6s. At 20fps, it's 30s, and at 50fps, it's 12s. Obviously, the video length decreasing by the factor by which I increase the fps. But since higher frames per second videos show a slower/longer videos, since they have more images to display per second?
I need to be able to see a slow increase and decrease in the well deflections smoothly. At high frame rates, the video goes by so fast that I cannot analyze the deflections. At low frame rates, the video is slower, but there are too many missing frames so the deflection is not smooth (ie. you see no deflection one second, and the next, you see the peak deflection without seeing the gradual increase in deflections). It is very hard to find an "ideal" frame rate, so I was wondering if there was another way to control the frame rate such that I have high fps, and longer video lengths?
I'm attaching my VI. The bottom loop is where all the Video and Camera controls are. The top loops is to control pressure gauge and valve (just ignore that loop)
Thank you,

Hi B.J. Kim,
The problem you're seeing with the fps and video length makes sense to me. If you keep the overall frame count constant and change only the rate of playback, then the video time will be indirectly proportional, as you have noticed. Just from simple math, it appears like you kept the video image at a constant of 600 total frames while changing the frame rate between 10, 20, 30fps, etc. If you're looking to have more resolution in you video, maybe you could increase the actual frame rate of acqusition from your camera. You may also try placing a small millisecond wait in your while loop to slow down execution speed.

Getting data rate, frame rate for encoded clips

In quicktime movie info gives frame rate and lots of great
info. I can't find any software that does that for mac...only for
PC. I need to see the results of my choices. I don't understand why
this is so hard to find.

>bit lost since I bought a new HD video camera. This project needed to be on DVD
A DVD is MUCH lower than the resolution of your new camera... the picture in the next link shows the relative sizes... your DVD is never going to look as good as a BluRay, which is what is needed to have HD video

Best bitrate/frame rate for 1080 and 720 HD?

What seems to be the best bit rate and frame rate to use for
HD video for best playback on a Mac Mini. Plan on using H.264 encoder
to be compatible with iTunes,etc. (I like iTunes for consolidating all my media).
I have downloaded several movies from iTunes, both HD and SD, and they all
look great and playback smoothly.
I will be using a 32" Samsung HDTV.

FWIW, I've been working on a 720p project and have found the "proxy" on the cinema display pretty good for judging focus. We thought we found some material with soft focus and actually took it to a post house to look at the tape on a CRT. It was out of focus.
If I remember correctly, I think Decklink made an adapter that would allow you to view HD material on the cinemadisplay. Maybe someone else can pipe up with the specifics. Someone else also recently posted this link: http://www.matrox.com/video/products/mxo/home.cfm.

When is new frame rate for HD projects?

Cyberbretheren...
Those working in film especially CGI stuff know that there's a new frame rate of 23.976. Any word on when Logic will add this option?
Pro Tools already has, nudge nudge wink wink....
A
G5 dual 2.5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Stylus AND my original Minimoog. Lots of MOTU. No more Digi.

Yeah, "24 drop frame". I asked the Logic reps at last years' NAMM show if this was going to be added to the next version of Logic, but I got the ol' blank stare -- they had never heard of it! Hopefully by now they have. I agree, this new frame rate needs to be added. Glad you brought this up!

Field order and frame rate for motion graphic

Hi all,
I'm creating a some graphics to project on big screen LED for live concert & later the editor might use these graphics in his ntsc 16x9 29.97fps digibeta source cut so which is the best way?
1- 853x486 square pixel, progressive, 29.97fps
2- 853x486 square pixel, lower field, 29.97fps
3- 853x486 square pixel, progressive, 60fps
I'm thinking *option 3 render w/ motion blur on* is the best since it would produce whole frame so that the editor can freeze frame or do what ever he wants.
also, do I need frame blending to be on?
thanks a bunch.

Best frame rate for shooting motion in 60 interlaced?

Hello,
I'm working with some footage that includes some boats moving quickly. A lot of that was shot close up. I'm amazed at the artifacts that interlaced is producing. Quite frankly you feel you need new glasses when you look at it. Freeze a frame and the horizontal edges of each phase jump out. I have no idea what the shutter speed is in these shots but just wonder if this effect is totally unavoidable shooting interlaced. Possibly my camera was shooting at a very low shutter speed, so that might exagerate these artifacts, but even if I had shot at a very high speed they'd still be there, just perhaps to a lesser degree. Right? So any thoughts on this? Any ideas about the best way to capture motion when shooting interlaced. (This is ten-year old footage, so I suspect I'll have to try and recreate the event shooting progressive this time.)
Thanks.

The newer Flat Panel TVs and DVD players do a great job at de-interlacing.
Digital broadcast @ 1080 is still interlaced. So modern TVs need to be able to handle that.
If you're making standard def DVDs out of 1080 HDV footage you may want to consider de-interlacing when you down convert to 480. And down convert to Pro Rez rather than hdv. You'll have fewer artifacts that way.
You can also learn how to author Blu-ray which will be a better product for your hdv footage.
best,

Is there a way to run firefox at a higher frame rate for those with monitors capable of 120hz?

I noticed that IE is smooth as silk when browsing websites compared to firefox. Is there an add-on or a setting I can change so that I can take advantage of my monitor which runs at 120hz?

ksinks wrote:
Thanks, how would you synchronize the loops? I have gone through the Getting Started exercises and manual.
Why would synchronization matter? Did you want them to run independantly at their own speed or not?
Regardless, there's a synchronization pallette with functions for this, as Occurance.
Other solutions include a common loop counter and a case structure executing every X'th iteration, or having the faster loop send a queue or event every X'th loop that controls the slower loop.
