  frame interpreter

  Posted by Brandon Adam on October 7, 2013 at 7:46 am

  Working with footage at 25fps, and want to overlay graphics. Only issue is, it not as smooth as I would like. Even interlaced is not the outcome I want. This may sound some what stupid, is there a way for after effects to interpret the graphic as 50fps still running at 25fps? If there is no possible way, hen that’s okay. Thank you for your time.

  You are running in a physical limitation – 25 fps will not be as smooth as 30 or 50 or 60fps.
  Adding motion blur will smooth out the movement but you’ll end up with softer edges for moving graphics.

  Maybe I should consider converting all my clips at 50fps. Would Compressor 4 be a good application to use to do the job of fram-rate conversion? https://www.apple.com/au/finalcutpro/compressor/

  OR magic bullet frames – https://www.redgiant.com/products/all/frames/#tabs

  One side note, I live in the PAL region and Im sure all TV broadcasts use 1080i interlaced. My question is, how are tv programs especially the news able to interpret 25i graphics so smoothly its almost like its progressive footage.

  Thank you Tudor
