Editing with different frame rates

Specific to Premiere Elements version 2018

Editing with different frame rates

Postby John Walker » Tue Apr 28, 2020 10:05 am

I have been given some 1080 footage to edit into one project. Some recorded at 60fps and the rest at 50 fps. Original audio won't be used.

What are the best settings to use etc?

I think that I would export each as a standard MP4 and then edit those in a single project. The difference of 10 fps is probably not much and might not be noticeable but that's what I would do.

You might consider using Handbrake to convert the 50fps to 60fps. Then edit

+1 But if I did it this way I would reduce the frame rate on the 60fps video (so "throwing frames away") rather than increase the frame rate on the 50fps clip (so "creating extra frames").

All great options, mine would reduce the frame rate to probably 30fps in the MP4. Handbrake is an excellent option for converting files. I would agree with John to decrease the frame rate on the 60fps rather than increase the rate on the 50fps (sorry Sidd).

Thanks everyone,

I have fewer 60fps clips so I'll go the Handbrake route and reduce those files to 50fps. Never used Handbrake before, so another learning curve in sight. I hope it's easy to understand :ha:

Handbrake is so easy to use. But here are the basics.

Superb Steve. Excellent presentation as always. So easy to follow and will save me a lot of time starting with Handbrake.

Just one question (isn't there always :fg: ) Can I select a batch of files that require the same settings?

Regards

Yes, Handbrake has a batch feature. But for some reason when I've tried it it's omitted some files from the batch.

But maybe they've fixed it. It's worth trying.
