  What’s a better way to record footage for rendering?

  Posted by Musta Klaki on May 12, 2014 at 3:50 am

  I thought about this the other day, and I’m stumped.

  If you are recording some footage and rending to a 30FPS video, would be it better to record your footage AT 30FPS, or does it not matter?

  I figure if you’re recording at 55-60 (Jumping between these) and render into 30FPS, it may skip frames as it does now know which 30 out of those 60 to necessarily use.

  Just a thought.

  That’s nothing to worry about, if you are recording in say
  60fps, you have the leverage of doing some cool slow motion if
  there is a need for it, then render out at 30fps flawlessly, you
  loose nothing really.

  I have always recommended that it’s best to record and the same frame rate as your delivery format. This reduces any surprises from frame rate conversions.
