frame rate problem within nested compostions in AE 6.5
ok- so I’m at a friend’s place, helping him out on his computer.
Some footage was pulled in at 30 fps instead of 24 fps, and so he’s missing some frames he’d rather have in a 24 fps composition.
Things have been nested so many times at 30 fps, that I just want to force every frame of a 30fps comp to be shown in a 24fps comp.
But here’s the weird thing:
“preserve frame rate” under “Composition Settings” isn’t doing anything noticable.
And another weird thing:
I made two test comps, one 24fps and 24 frames long (1 sec), and one 30fps and 30 frames long (1 sec), and no matter what combination of changing settings/nesting, they always precompose exactly the same length.
I’m dumbfounded- maybe this is a quirk of 6.5 that i’ve forgotten?
any ideas?

That’s not what preserve frame rate does,
basically it does this:
1. you have a comp that is 5FPS containing footage that’s 25FPS, so when you preview it looks like ‘posterize time” has been applied
2. you drop that comp into a 25FPS comp, and preview: fluid 25FPS motion.3. Enable ‘preserve frame rate’
4. the posterize persists even in the 25 FPS comp.Your problem is not a framerate one, but a speed one:
You’ll have to stretch the layer’s length 125% to have every frame of the 30FPS be shown in the 24FPS. -
Thanks for the responces, guys.
All the footage were image sequences, so there was no interlacing involved.
I did just redo the whole project last night in an organized, very OC-kinda way.
