  • 120 fps to 29.97

    Posted by John Estes on September 9, 2009 at 3:25 am

    I am taking a source footage that is motion capture in xsi at 120 fps and outputing to bring into vegas. 120fps will play at a quarter speed I think when brought into vegas. Any recommendations on how to bring this into vegas without some wacky pull down? Or is it okay since there are extra frames?

    It is probably an easy thing, but I just wanted to know how to do it properly with minimal loss in motion.

    Thanks,

    If you go into the event properties and disable resample, there will be no “wacky pulldown” 😉 Vegas will just play each frame in order at the rate of the project until it runs out of frames to display.

    John,
    Thanks for that info. Would have taken me 6 months to find that!
    I will give that a try. If I had to then mix with 29.97 frames per second, I will have to do the pull down right?
    –otherwise it will be going at 1/4 the speed at 29.97. Any suggestions on best way to bring the footage together without any significant visual loss?

    Thanks again for your help.

    The first thing I would do is let Vegas resample and see how it looks. It might be fine. You could also disable resample and increase the playback rate to speed it up to normal. This should just skip frames that it doesn’t need without frame-blending because resample is disabled.

    That is what I was figuring on.
    I do appreciate the comments and all the help.

    Thanks,
