    I’m not sure if that’s a question for this forum or the ‘basic’ one. Anyway I’ll appreciate any info.

    *All ’60fps’ and ’24fps’ in this post referring to actual ‘59.94’ and ‘23.976’*

    Hello,

    I’m trying to put a video together, with 2 sources of footage:

    A. 1080P 60fps MTS files from a sony camcorder (PJ540)
    B. 720P 24fps RAW files from Canon (60D) with ML, which would be converted to DNG sequences in AE and then brought back to my timeline in PP as 24fps (unless you’ll tell me to do something different).

    I started editing on a 60 fps timeline, but then decided it’s better to just move everything onto a 24fps timeline and render it out as 24fps. I prefer to ‘kill’ some of the frames of the 60P footage and get a 24fps (not really) look, than to get jittery look on the 24fps raw while it’s being exported as 60 or 30fps. btw, I changed the timeline itself although i believe the timeline setting isn’t really going to change anything? it’s only the export that does… and any changes on footage interpretation. correct?

    So here are my questions:

    1. Am i doing the right thing? is it really necessary to go to the ‘lowest’ of my fps footage for my timeline and export? or is there a CLEAN way to put a 24fps on a 60fps or 30fps timeline and export w/o getting choppy/jittery export?

    2. I rendered part of the timeline just to check stuff out, and I ended up getting different results, but I don’t understand why i got them. Maybe you can tell me what I’m missing here:

    Render test 1:
    60fps footage, 100% speed, on a 60fps timline, exporting to a 30 fps progressive H.264 quicktime file:
    shows all as real time (as was on the timline) but created noticable ‘in between’ frames (shown in playback AND when paused), almost as if it was interlaced stuff… progressive materials, rendered to progressive export – shouldn’t look all clean? Is the 60fps bringing a problem here and the exporter don’t know what to do with that ‘extra’ material so it shows it half and half on every frame?

    Render test 2:
    60fps footage, 100% speed, on a 60fps timline, exporting to a 60 fps progressive H.264 quicktime file:
    rendered all very clean, but as if it was in slow-mo. WHY is it in slow-mo? Since it was all 60P, i expected it to show as real speed…

    Thanks in advance!
    Ori.
