Emergency problem! Wrong frame rates … 29.97 -> 23.976
Hi folks,
I have a bit of an emergency on my hands with a project that has to be in today.
I filmed a video on the Canon 5D mark II at 29.97fps (30p).
Nearly all my clips are therefore 29.97fps.In Premiere Pro CS5 I created a 23.976 timeline and interpreted all my footage in the project window to use the 23.976 frame rate. Because I don’t have to worry about sound on this project, so I thought it would give my visual footage a nice slow motion movement (80% slow down).
My eyes might be deceiving me, but the rendered output doesn’t look as smooth as it should and I’m thinking it could be because of what I did with the frame rates.
So I created a new sequence at 29.97 and re-interpreted all the clips back to 29.97. However, the edit is now not right because re-interpreting the clips have changed where the cuts are.
Is there any way to fix this mess quickly? I don’t care anymore if it’s 23.976 (preferred), or back to 29.97 – I just need the rendered output to be smooth and get this out the door.
Thank you for any offer of remedy!!

Hi Kris,
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple, frames that are removed are creating that jitter. You’ll probably want to avoid 24p anyway, it has always been a bit of a gimmick anyway, it does not create a film look…
But I’ll get right to the answer.
Create a new 29.97 sequence, with the same number of video and audio (mono/stereo) tracks, then copy and paste the clips from your previous sequence to the new one. Re-interpret all your footage at 29.97, you should be good to go.

BTW, I missed the 80% slow down part, do you mean 20%, or are you slowing down the footage further?
