Is there a way to have 12 fps assets in a 23.976 comp?

If you want everything to be 12FPS, right click the Comp (and precomps if you have them) and change the FPS to 12. Otherwise, you can precomp, right click the precomp and select “Speed/duration” and then raise the speed to 200%, effectively making it twice as fast 24fps:12fps. If that isn’t doing what you are trying to accomplish let me know and give more details, and I’ll try to help in another way.

Thanks so much for responding!!
When I examine two position-keyframed solids in a 23.97 comp, one precomped (the precomp is 12) and one just in the comp, they both move exactly the same at 23.97. It seems like the main comp’s framerate is overriding the precomp?

Any idea how to avoid that?

Thanks!

If you go to the project panel, you should be able to adjust the Composition’s frame rate even after the comp was made. Right click it, and where it asks for frame rate, put in 12. All comps and precomps have to have the same frame rate in order for this to work right, so be sure to double check that. The main comp will override the precomp settings.

Thanks!! But is there a way to get a 23.97 comp to “read” a “12 fps” comp as an actual 12 fps comp?

For example, if I were to bring a 12 fps -rendered- .mov into a 23 fps comp, it would presumably play every frame twice.
Is there a way to achieve this effect within AE, without rendering a 12 fps comp first and bringing it back in?

Sorry if I’m unclear!

Thank you!
