    Hi everyone,

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I am about to start editing a compilation piece in Final Cut Pro and I’m not sure what frame rate to use.
    The footage I have is in both 25fps and 23.98fps but with the majority in 25fps. The final edit will be uploaded to Vimeo at 720p.

    What should I be considering when choosing whether to conform the fps in either direction?

    I have used Cinema Tools for conforming 50fps to 25fps, is this what I would use to change 25fps->23.98fps or 23.98fps->25fps?

    Thanks again for any help,
    Flux

    Since most is 25fps, I’d conform the 23.98 to 25.

    Since you’re not worried about a TV signal, and only worried about a web output, I’d go with 25. If most of it is 25, then you have less work to do.

    [Flux Munro] “I have used Cinema Tools for conforming 50fps to 25fps,”
    Don’t do that.
    That only makes a 50% slow mow.
    That p50 footage have to be treated as p25. Half of the frames need to be discharged.

    [Jerry Hofmann] “Since most is 25fps, I’d conform the 23.98 to 25.”
    Not sure if that is possible. I mean, you can conform 25 to 23’98, but no sure if is possible 23’98 > 25.
    I tried once, but no option.
