Premiere pro desktop timebase 16 or 18 fps?
Hi, I have to edit 8mm film footage.
One film is 16fps. another 18fps. How to set correct timebase for desktop preset in premiere pro cs5? How to export as 16 or 18 fps still file sequence?
My footage is a jpg frame sequence, so I need to export a file sequence too with the same frame rate as original.

I think you are stuck with the given framerates in the desktop.
But you could try dragging a clip into the New Item icon and see what happens. -
Well I have a sequence not video file to begin with, even so I tried to open avi 18fps file. It opens ok, but export is only available at preset fps speeds. I mean I can’t seem to export at custom fps no matter what.
If Adobe was so smart as to not allow custom fps speeds on their flagman editing program, then who the heck forgot about 16 and 18 fps speeds used for 8mm film??? Hello it’s a known standard so why isn’t it listed then?

What do you plan on watching it back on? 16 and 18fps is not a “standard” anywhere any more.
This will only work with CS5 or higher:
Set your image sequence to modify… interpret footage and then go and set the fps to 18 or 16. You will need to keep the same frame rate for a clean output.Drag the clip with the custom fps onto the new item icon at the bottom of the project panel. Wait. A custom sequence will be created and the clip you dropped over the icon will be in the new sequence with matching fps. frame dimensions etc.
When you go to output you will not have any video file codec run at 18 or 16fps. You can only export as an image sequence which will maintain the frame rate in the sequence it’s exporting from.
This will then only be used for transfer to film to maintain that custom frame rate. TV, DVD, BLuray, WEB won’t make a video file that runs at 16 or 18fps, it’s not a standarad anywhere in video. It can be embedded in a standard video signal to play in realtime, but it won’t be that smooth and will repeat frames to show less frames in more frames per second.
Good Luck.

I stand corrected. There is not option to export properly this way via PPro. You will need After Effects.
