Converting 24 fps to 23.976 fps?
Hello, I’m finishing some game footage that I’ve recorded in 24 fps and the final output is in the standard 23.976 fps. The problem is it create some subtle stutters. I am wondering if there’s any way to render the film smoother. For further reference I’d like to know if there’s an ideal fps I should record to make the 23.976 fps conversion more smoothly. thanks!

If you recorded with an HD video camera, your footage most likely already is 23.976fps. No conversion is necessary.
Assuming you do actually need the frame rate conversion for a film or true 24P video workflow, the easiest way is to bring the footage into After Effects. Right click on the asset in the project window, then select “reinterpret footage.” Specify the new frame rate. AE will play the frames at the new frame rate without altering them or creating any visible artifacts.

No need to scrub it through Ae. You interpret footage at a new frame rate [link] directly in Premiere Pro.

thanks. I actually found out the real culprit. Apparently Premiere doesn’t like to convert 23.976 fps directly in the sequence properties. I made a new sequence with 24 fps and export the final output at 23.976 fps and took care of the problem.

spoke too soon. Problem still exist, it has just moved at other place. Cannot use the clip feature as it is grayed out.

Thanks Walter. I had no idea you could reinterpret the frame rate directly within Premiere. I’ve just started using Premiere with the introduction of CS-6 and have not found all the capabilities lurking under the hood yet.
