So what is the proper format to export lossles from Premiere and then to import into Vegas ? – in my case video is 1920×1080 interlaced.

Hi Wayne,

I installed Happy Otter Scripts in Vegas, and I can tell you that frame rate conversion Avisynth script will only double the frame rate. But the other tool, Render + will do the job, most likely, very good. I am converting 29.97 –> 25 fps. Still, I need to convert fps from some other files and then I will know for sure if this is what I needed.

Many thanks!

Yes, the project’s Deinterlace Method is set to Blend Fields. If I use Smart Resample, I get a lot of ghosting.
I uploaded here, 8 secs of 29.97 fps video from which I want to convert into 24 or 25 fps (the file is test.mp4):

I have noticed from your screenshot that in Project Properties, the following setting is enabled: “Adjust source media to better match project or rendering settings”. Actually I was trying to render with and without this setting active, but I didn’t see any difference.

Another thing I want to ask, is there any plug-in able to convert right away 29.97 fps to 25 fps. Or a dedicated app, most likely with batch function? This would be perfect because I have numerous videos captured at the speed of 29.97-30 fps, using the smart phone.

Thank you

I believe the number is 4 %, so value 0,96 in my case. But why 4% ?

When I convert 29.97 fps to 24 fps the video is very choppy.
To speed up the video from 24 fps to 25 fps, what value should I enter for Playback rate ?

Thank you

Thank you John I appreciate your elaborate feedback across this forum (I’ve been reading these boards from a while) .
Lately I was putting my efforts in a project with multiple video segments of different fps (29.970 fps, 25 fps) from which I want to build one final piece of 25 fps. I managed to find a way to get good video quality (also good in terms of smoothing and no ghosting) but the drawback is that audio gets out of sync.
Is there a direct way to convert audio track from 29.970-fps-video to 25-fps-video using Vegas or Sound Forge ?

Yes, I do have multiple Media in the Project, but all are from the same source (smartphone).
From experience and several testing, I learned that this template gives the best quality for mp4: Sony AVC/MVC 1920×1080-30p

Hi Graham,

The thing is, if I disable Levels effect then everything is fine on rendered video. As I have mentioned, this issue occurs only on dark scenes, and using Levels I am trying to adjust a little bit let’s say the brightness and the noise because the video was shot at night.

Below are the properties of the video I am trying to edit:

The Render Template I am using is: Sony AVC/MVC 1920×1080-30p.

Thank you

In addition, I would add the following information:

–> mp4 files are progressive, 30 fps (taken from smarthpone)
–> m2ts are interlaced, 25 fps (taken from handycam) (as i live in Europe)

The amount of files, and the length of recording time, between mp4 and m2ts, is about 50/50.

So, how should I render the final video ?

Thx
