export to movie = changed frame rate? Strange…
I am working in an SD 29.97 project. I File>Export>Movie, instructing Premiere to create a Quicktime movie, animation codec, at 29.97 fps. The problem: The movie created is reported by quicktime player as being 29.89 fps. Negligible to the eye, perhaps, but incorrect nonetheless.
Our audio engineer is having trouble importing this file as a reference into his audio app since the frame rate doesn’t match. More broadly, I’m concerned about what’s going on here. I don’t like things magically changing to something other than what I’ve specified. Anyone else come across this issue?
fyi…same problem if I export to .avi.

I’ve never run into that…
When you pick the framerate with Animation…does it give you 29.97 as an option? (I seem to recall that Animation wants whole numbers i.e.30 fps…)
Have you tried to export as PNG? I think 29.97 is available there…
Where are you seeing the framerate displayed? In QT Player Movie Inspector?
If nothing else, even though it would be a PITN, I would think that PPro could import the QT file and you could interpret footage as 29.97 and export an audio clip…

Thanks for the response, Tim.
>>When you pick the framerate with Animation…does it give you 29.97 as an option? (I seem to recall that Animation wants whole numbers i.e.30 fps…)
Yes, 29.97 is an option, and I have it selected.
>>Where are you seeing the framerate displayed? In QT Player Movie Inspector?
Yes, in both the QT Player movie inspector for .mov and in Windows Media Player Statistics for .avi.
I have gone back into some old projects in which I’ve exported in the same fashion, and have not found any problems in the past. Leads me to believe there is something funky with this project/sequence only. I’m going to try to import the entire project into a fresh, empty project since that has solved some other weirdness I’ve experienced in the past.
As far as getting the sequence out to my audio engineer, we, er, did the old fashioned way. We output to tape…

I wonder if the project is simply somewhat corrupt?
Often, importing the existing project into a new project can clean up that sort of thing…
