  • Slow motion shots keep pausing after exporting.

    Posted by Ryan Elder on December 18, 2019 at 11:29 pm

    For my short film project, one of the shots, a couple of the shots, I wanted to do in slow motion so I shot those shots at 60 fps, and then had them re-interpreted as 24 fps on a 24 fps timeline. On the timeline, the slow motion shots playback as normal slow motion and it’s smooth.

    However, when I export the entire project into an H.264 format copy, the slow motions shots will not play back correctly after, and keep pausing on different media players I have tried.

    Is there a way to get the slow motion shots to playback normally, as I am guessing it has something to do with the H.264 export settings perhaps?

    60p media on a 24p timeline will just work.

    All instances of 60P media on any 24P timeline will play at 40% slo-mo. i..e. 1 for 1. 60fps footage maps perfectly to the 24fps timeline for the smoothest slow-mo.

    Your final output file should work now.

    Your post stated you converted the 60P to 24p before you placed it in the timeline and then exported again at 24P. I’m stating you don’t have to convert the 60P footage for the original edit. Don’t let Premiere convert the footage when you insert into your timeline. Keep it as 60P in the 24P original edit sequence, then export the entire entire sequence as 24P.

    Oh okay, but I had to do convert it prior to putting it in the timeline cause if I try to put it in the timeline without converting it, then it doesn’t play back as slow motion though.

    What I mean I did, was is that I clicked on ‘interpret footage, and I typed in to interpret the footage as 24.00. Cause if I don’t do that, then it will not play back in slow motion then.
