    Hi,

    I have some footage which is annoyingly in 12fps. Are there any techniques that can be used to smooth this out? This may be something for Aftereffects or Premiere so I have posted in both.

    MUCH needed help so would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    If it looks good, look at it.

    You could try using Time Warp in AFX. Make the speed 50% this will generate a new frame between each of your originals. Export at 12 fps and import into Premiere then interoperate footage as 24 frame.

    Do you need to keep the same speed? do you need to keep the video sync with the audio?

    In After Effects, you could interpret your 12fps source footage to your master timeline frame rate and see if it suits your needs. As suggested you could also use Time Warp and set to best quality (optical flow).

    If you are considering using an external plug-in, I would recommend Revision FX Twixtor which will allow you to conform from 12fps to whatever frame rate is your master.

    In any case quality of the conversion will depend on the quality of the original footage and the type of motion involved inside of your frame.
