Thanks for the reply Tero.

So there wont be any playback issues when using 50fps footage at normal speed when exporting at 25fps? Obliviously frames will be removed but I just wanted to make sure there wont be any issues.

I really like shooting 50fps on my doco/run&gun promos as it gives me the option to slow it down if I’d like. Some of the times your not sure if its going to be used slowmo or normal speed all depends on the production.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Cheers
Benny

Hi Ivan,

You sound like the guy I need to chat with..Very knowledgeable!

I have shot a 45 minute documentary on the GH4.

I shot it in 4k 25fps and 1080 50fps.

I have been editing on a 1080 25fps timeline downscale the 4K footage to 1080. The doco is half 25 and half 50fps and I have used a fair bit of the 1080/50 footage as slow motion (speed Duration 50%).

My question I have a bunch of 1080/50 footage I want to keep at normal speed in the film. When I export a 1080/25 .mp4 or .mov of the film it plays fine on vimeo and USB in TV. How come I am not dropping frames on export and getting jerky footage?

I am worried because the film has been chosen for a film festival, which it will get play in cinemas etc Will the footage come out jerky/dropped frames on the projection/cinema screen?

Would I have to interrupt the footage to 25fps then speed it up by 200%? Would that work to keep it all 25pfs?

Thanks in advance
Benny
