    Loaded 15 fps Clip into Avid?

    Posted by Joshua Moise on April 6, 2015 at 4:15 pm

    Greetings,

    Have a pile of archival clips at 15 fps. What’s the best was to load this footage? Eventually it’ll live in a 1080 2398 sequence.

    Thanks,

    Archival clips that are 15fps? Where do these come from? No tape runs at 15fps? Old films (talking REALLY old…silent era) ran at 18fps…were telecined to tape at 29.97fps.

    The only clips that I know that run at 15fps are ones encoded for the web. So are those the ONLY ones you have access to? If I were in your shoes, I’d import them into a 29.97 project…as that is a multiple of 15. And then bring the bin of footage into the 23.98 project.

    Thanks. Yeah, they’re from the web.
