  • Any decent way to convert higher fps movies to a lower 29.97 fps ? (or other format)

    I’ve been trying to make a movie made with various frame rates going like 40 to 60, game footage from FRAPS. But there’s always a problem when finalizing the movie in my desired frame rate is the end result is choppy.

    I tried with blending method but I’m not satisfied as it create very blurry images and desaturate the overall pictures too much from my taste. Is there a better way to make conversion more accurate than letting the software guessing the frames?

    You could try doing the frame rate conversion in AE, it might do a better job.

    Really though, all the game footage should have been captured with VSync on and the monitor’s refresh rate set to 60Hz. That way (assuming your computer is capable of 40-60fps in the game) you’ll end up with a 60fps video which will contain a lot of duplicate frames. (every time the game went under 60fps) Dropping this into a 30fps timeline with frame-blend turned off should result in a smooth 30fps video.

    Thats the theory anyway.
