Playout still frames – change frame rate without render?
Hi,
Looks like I’m going to be on here a bit now…
Basically what I want to do is play a few sequenced still frames onto tape, but I want each still to last 10 seconds, instead of 1 frame. Without timestreching the frames (involves rendering before can playout) is there a way I can just get it to play the timeline slower, to give the illusion that the stills are 10 second clips?
I know this sounds very convoluted, but I used to do this on a DVS Clipstation and all I had to do was change the speed to .004 which made each 1frame still play at 250 frames – immediately. Now I’ve started using Premiere and my Decklink I/O to playout/grab video and gfx because the Clipstation had no audio and was time consuming for long sequences because I had to load all the frames onto it from my harddrive first. Premiere works really well for most things now, just when playing into our old Avid I need to slow stuff down…
So, is there a quick way?
Thanks for any advice and sorry if I rambled!

There are two ways to do it, one change the default duration to 300 frames via Edit-> Preferences-> General or right click on each clip and change the duration to 10 sec, if you playback the timeline in realtime you don’t need to render just tape from the firewire output just make sure you Project-> Project Settings-> General-> Playback are set under realtime playback to your external device, same with export.

Thanks. That worked a treat. I’m sure I tried that before, but it wouldn’t play until I’d rendered it (changing duration of clip in timeline) ?!?
Oh well, works now. Ta a bunch.
