Editing with wrong Frame Rate
Hello,
I’m having some problems here. I’ve edited a wedding in Adobe Premiere CS3, and the frame rate of the source media is 29,97fps. Now that I finished the entire process I realized that I set up the project at 24fps. What can I do now? Can I export the project with 29,97 without loosing frames? I had to render the entire capture files just when I started the project, but didn’t realized the problem…
May I change the project frame rate without loosing the entire work? How can I save my work?!! Export settings? Project settings? AHHHH!!

Have you tried creating a new sequence with the proper settings and cutting and pasting between the two? You could also import or cut and paste the entire project into AE, choose the correct settings in AE and render out OR cut and paste from AE back into a Premiere sequence with the correct settings.

You’ll love this….
Open a New Project with the correct settings. (29.97fps)
Now Import … yes import your old project you’ve been working on.
Find the Sequence you edited. Open it by double clicking it in the project panel.
Whallah!
ALL FIXED, CORRECT FRAME RATE AND YOU HAVEN’T LOST YOUR EDIT, EFFECTS, ANYTHING.

That’s awesome. Can you import sequences from other projects or do you have to import the entire project?

You can copy the seq in project 1 and open project 2 paste in the project panel and all the media related to just that seq will come in too. Yes it is awesome 🙂

That’s insanely awesome! Not sure how stable CS4 is on HUGE projects but this could be a workaround if stability is an issue.

Hey Jon
i realise this post is over a year old, but ive just done the same thing where i have HD mpeg video footage at 25fps and created a sequence in PP CS4 at 24fps.
i have edited the whole thing and have only just realised what ive done…DOH!
i have noticed that when there is fast movement in the video i can see like a stutter effect…..which is prob from the dropped frames.ive tried to copy and paste seq1 (24fps) into a new seq (25fps), but the edited footage in the new timeline, has gaps between edits/cuts. and only in some of the sequence, not all??? (very strange)
(the seq @ 24fps definitely does not have these gaps)i read you post about how to solve this by importing the old project into a new one with the correct frame rate, but when i import the old project into a new one, it still says in the project window that the old sequence is at 24fps.
so my understanding is that its the sequence that determines the frame rate of the project. and you can have multiple sequences in one project, with different frame rates.
is this correct?am i missing something?
any suggestions as to how i’ll get around this issue?
ive just spent the last 2 weeks editing this clip and would really appreciate your help please.
cheers

Lol, I made an account right now just so I can answer your post. I know it’s been almost a year since you posted that but I just wanted to say my solution.
I had a similar problem where I filmed my footage in 29.97 but accidentally edited the whole thing in a 24p sequence.
I just opened a new file, created a new sequence with 29.97fps, imported the old file, and dragged the old sequence into the new timeline. It worked like a charm!
Don’t copy and paste all of the cuts and stuff within the sequence to the other sequence… just drag the whole sequence into a new blank sequence.
Hope that made sense… O_o
