    Hi there i receive a footage that have 1 000 fps and i was trying to import it to after effects, but after only allow to have footage at 99 fps, is there any way to work this files at 1 000 fps or there is, some kind of process or plug in to work with this footage.

    Try importing it as 24 fps and see what happens.

    thanks a lot for the quick reply.
    I understand that it was not supose to work at 1 000 fps, but i dont’ think that my question is irrelevant and nonsensical! Cause after all this forum was created to people take their doubts and to learn with others that have more experience.

    It’s not the first time that you reply like this, and certainly you didn’t born with all the knowledge that you have right now, you have to learn with others!

    And is that what i’m trying to do here! If you can help me i thank you a lot, otherwise don’t bother to reply, please.

    About my plan. My plan is to use the possibility to use a good slow motion, that’s why i film at 1 000 fps.

    Thanks once more for your quick reply

    I know. I just wanted to see what would happen.

    Thanks Michael, i will try to do that!
    So the video is imported as 24 fps, and the composition is also at 24fps?

    Frame rate interpretation is totally non-destructive. It won’t alter your footage; it just determines how fast or slow it will look when played back. It almost doesn’t matter what you set it at, because you can change it later without affecting your footage files on disk. You can experiment some.

    Your working comp, though, must match whatever your final output device will be. How will this ultimately be played back?

    If you’re on a Mac setup with FCP, you may be able to take it into Cinema Tools and Conform it to 24 or 25 fps.
    But save a backup 1st.

    Shooting high frame rate footage is – like Dave mentioned earlier- so that you can have crystal clear slow motion. Also it is recommended when you want speed changes that go from real fast to slow motion (camera moves or action in the shot). Besides setting up the frame rate of the project you are working in AE at the delivery standard (24, 25, 29.97 and so on) you may want to now the length of the shot (how many seconds @1000fps). This will allow you to figure out the time stretch percentage you need to apply to get real time, or where to move your key frames for time remapping to get that (which is what I recommend doing). From here you can start playing with speed changes.

    I know this thread is several years old, but I was looking for info on AE’s 99fps cap. Came across this thread. I had to comment on Dave LaRonde’s response. His attitude is completely uncalled for. All I have to say is, his work better be super stellar, cool, and amazing to approach having that kind of attitude. Let’s see some of your know it all attitude work.. Have anything to show Mr. ABC?
