Setting frame rate for playback
I only own up to Premiere 6.5 but this should be the same for most versions I assume… anyway…
I need to make a movie from a series of .bmp images captured in premiere from some movie film. The film runs/ran at 15 frames per second when shot. I now have a single .bmp for each frame on the time line.
My question is, how do I export this as a movie running at 15fps into a 29.976 NTCS video file?
Any suggestions?

There are a few ways to address this. Here are some options:
– interpret the 15fps footage as 29.97 and maintain the NTSC format
– create a custom format with NTSC resolution and rectangular pixels but change to 15 fps
– create a custom format with a modified resolution, square pixels, and 15fpsAre there specific requirements for the delivered file?

Not sure I’m getting all that you say, sorry.
I had a thought. See if this makes sense.
If I set Premiere to capture each still as two frames then that would seem to get me the 30 frames per second (15 pictures x 2 = 30 frames) I will need to make the movie play correctly in real time, correct? If I do make movie from this it should work as if I had used plain old video I would think.
As to the final format, it simply needs to be made into a SD DVD. Normally, I play this out off the time line into a DVD recorder that accepts firewire. Record to a RW-DVD and author the final version on a computer. Clunky, perhaps, but it works well for me.
Please advise.

Thanks for the info. Just create a sequence that meets the export requirement (29.97fps NTSC DVD), and insert the 15fps footage in the timeline. Premiere will automatically duplicate the frames to generate the required frame rate.
You could also interpolate the extra frames using After Effects, if available. Take a look at Time Warp and Frame Blending with pixel motion.
