  • Premiere Play 29.97fps footage at 15fps yet 100% speed for Creative Purposes

    Posted by German Tabor on September 7, 2011 at 4:55 am

    Ok, so I am working with .mov files that were once .VOB files. They work fine on Premiere after conversion, no problems. The files are and have always been 29.97fps. 720×480

    What I am trying to do is create a sort of stop motion effect where the clip plays in the timeline at 100% speed, however, the amount of frames playing is visibly less than 29 or 24 for that matter and the footage becomes visibly choppy. I can of course set speed to 50% but this would make clip twice as long and that’s not what I am looking for. I like this effect for the look of part of this music video. I tried making a new sequence with 12 or 15 fps but I get a Premiere error “no sequence preview settings have been found for this editing mode” and it won’t let me open the sequence.

    Is there a filter I can use to achieve this effect, or some speed/duration trick or something? The idea came from what the preview looks like when ram previewing an unrendered section.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Try the “Posterize Time” filter. It allows you to set a frame rate at which the video will be displayed. You might want to choose 8 or 12fps….

    Thanks Ben! That’s exactly what I needed. Looks great at 8fps. I underestimated how much our brain blends the frames together so you have to turn it to a pretty low fps to make it look like it was on purpose and not a mistake. Go figure.

    Thanks again!
