    I know it might seem strange to have a problem with 120 fps, but the thing is that I’m manually reducing the frame rate of each clip to about 18 fps. To do this with a 29.970 video, I simply change the event’s “Undersample rate” to roughly 0.6. But for me to reduce 120 fps to 18 fps, I’d have to set it much, much lower (0.150 to be exact). That’s an extreme reduction, and I’m hesitant to use it, for fear of potential complications.

    Is this something I should be concerned about, or can I go with the 0.150 undersample without worry?

    I can’t see why not? Is it Progressive or Interlace? Why not give it a go with a small TEST selection and then render OUT to some lossless codec like the free Lagarith AVI, or one of the MOV options. Lots to choose from. But other than first level artefacts revealing themselves, in which case you’d KNOW immediately from a TEST, why not?

    Interesting post, thanks Raymond!

    You shouldn’t run into any complications there Raymond.
