  • Chage frame rate of video without affecting time

    Posted by Manuel Montes on January 3, 2014 at 12:22 pm

    Hello all:
    I want to recreate a mobile recorded video so I want to reduce the frame rate from 24 to about 20 or 18 fps. The problem is that if I use “interpret footage”, the video time becomes larger and it goes out of sync with the audio. I just want after effect to drop frames, not reinterpret the video, for an effect like a glitch or similar.

    Hey Manuel,

    This (link below) is not a perfect solution due to the fact that you don’t have 100% accurate control of what frames are dropped and such but I think it is probably the best compromise between simplicity and accurate results. It is easy because the plug in does all the heavy lifting for you and then you just have to tune your results a bit till you get a good result.

    Use the Posterize Time effect.

    That’s exactly what I was looking for and much more easier. Thanks you so much!

    A better solution is to nest the composition in a new composition and set the frame rate of the new, containing composition to be whatever frame rate you like.

    This is faster to render than the Posterize Time effect, since the effect still needs to process the full number of frames in the composition at the higher frame rate.

    You would also then need turn the comp’s “Preserve frame rate when nested or in render queue” setting on in its Composition Settings > Advanced, right?

    Clever!

    At this time I alright have the “look” that I want, but anyways I’ll try this and compare the results. Thanks you so much.
