2 Frame Rates in a Single Project
So here’s what we’re going for. We want you to notice the difference in frame rate. The majority of the film will be 24fps. But when a character uses his consumer-grade handy cam, we want to use 30 frames to give it a more home video look.
Suggestions on how to achieve this effect?
If we shoot in 2 different frame rates, can I switch frame rates mid sequence?
Is there an effects option that would give a similar 30fps effect to 24fps raw footage?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What encoder and delivery codec are you using? Most of the common options don’t support variable frame rate.
I am not sure viewers would notice the difference between 24fps and 30fps. You can emphasize the look of a handycam through color correction, using a relatively deep focus, and by actually using a consumer camcorder, of course.
Another option is to encode at 60fps and use repeat frames at different rates.

Those are great tips. And we did actually use a handycam for those shots. And the handycam shoots at 30fps. I guess I’ll just shift the colour and maybe add a grain to make it look shoddy.
Thanks again.
