In case anyone doesn't know this already, make sure when you are switching between shooting different frame rates, that you also switch your shutter speed to be double that. A lot of cameras cannot do exactly double, so you'll have to round. Example: 24fps=50 SS; 30fps=60 SS; 60fps=125 SS; and 120fps=250 SS.

I shoot EVERYTHING in 60fps and then EDIT in a 60fps timeline. Matt is right as usual but not being broad enough to edit on anything but his old-school 24fps timeline. People it’s 2021 so do we really need to be shooting and editing at only 24fps because that’s what they had available in the 1930´s and 40 ‘s with their old metallic mechanical shutters?!!! We now have the technology to do much better. 24fps has too much choppiness and motion-blur as there are too few frames. Especially when panning or scenes with lots of motion you know what I’m talking about! I have done many tests with this and that is why I shoot at 60fps and EDIT at 60fps that way your audio is still in sync (sorry Matt but true) but you have more frames to capture crisp, clear, sharp detail and movement in the scene and especially when you pan!! A little motion-blur is natural but fuzzy pixels when panning drives me crazy. Try it you’ll see….
A wonderful 75 and sunny in SWFL. No complaints! Thanks for this video, incredibly helpful! A video about your workflow from start to finish would be great!
Haha, I've got a Shoot happening tomorrow. Totally sitting here the past 1 hour digging through all your videos! Still going strong. Haha, Love your humour and great ways of explaining things out. But hey! Quick Question, Does it work the same way with Final Cut Pro?
Do we prefer videos with *integer frame rates* over decimal frame rates? When you want to transfer digital videos to film, the integer frame rates are much better for audio & video in sync.
Hands down, you have the best tutorial videos for filming and editing on UA-cam. Now I just need to start using all the stuff I've learned from you for my videos.
Seby Martinez with speed/duration, you can only i put the percentage of of the speed. so that means you gotta do some math to make sure that you type the exact percentage to a, let's say, 60fps footage to slow it down to exactly 23.976 fps.
I love your tutorial! Just a question, if I click on a 60fps footage interpret it as a 24fps and then speed it up by 250% in the timeline, is there going to be a noticable difference from what it'd look like when shot in 24fps in the first place? So is it going to be this weirdly smooth like 60 played in real time or will it be somehow adjusted to 24 frames?
KisaneNeko did you get a answer to this question?? I’m wondering the same thing. If I batch set everything to 24fps. Then decide I want to get the 60fps back. What percentage do I increase it to? 250 percent?
@@thevanekslasvegasfoodvlog I did not get an answer, but in my completely amateur opinion it works fine :) So if I use 60fps without interpreting, footage will look unnatural, super smooth and not really cinematic, but if I interpret it as 24fps, and then speed it up 250% I can't tell the difference between this and the footage originally shot in 24fps. (I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro & Encode) And to answer your question, 24fps * 2.5 = 60 fps, so yes, 250% is the desired value.
Thank you for this. You really are good at teaching. 😋 I have a question. If you want to have your shoot in slomotion that speeds up in fast tempo and then slowing down again. This is a popular way to edit today. How does that fit in the choice of frame rate?
If you ever need slow motion on a clip you need to shoot in 60fps. Then you can right click the clip in the timeline, set it to show speed keyframes, then use the pen tool to select points to slow down or speed up for ramping. Don't go below 40% speed when shooting 60fps.
you dont understand how much this video helped me not only am i gonna like it, but i will save it for next time in case if i forget how to do step by step, thanks matt
I have some footage I recorded in 60 frames (59.94 to be exact) and Premiere wont even give me the chance to convert the frame rate to what I want. The SECOND I import the footage Premiere converts from 59.94 frames to 14.99 frames. All my other clips are in 23.976. I tried making a new sequence with that frame rate (23.976), but once again as soon as Premiere is able to process those 59.94 clips it converts the frame rate to something unusable. I am pissed off. Could anyone help?
I have a question regarding frame rates (FPS), and I would really appreciate your help. I understand the difference between the frame rate used while shooting Vs the sequence frame rate. If I shoot at 60fps, and add the clip to a 30fps timeline, I understand that premiere will remove half of the frames unless I stretch the clip twice for slowmotion. Now, what I don't understand, however, is the difference between the sequence/timeline FPS and the export FPS. Let's say I edit on a 30fps timeline, but I export the final footage at 24fps or 60fps. Does premiere do the same thing and add/remove frames during export? If so, why should it even be an option? ( export framerate different from timeline framerate). thanks a lot
That something similar what I'm wondering. Just because it looks a bit stuttering in the timeline does it automatically also become that in the export? It feel like it just Premiere trying to do the best to show the material but will it really effect the final result?
Once you have matched all the frame rates to 23.976 and you put them into the timeline, can you adjust the speed of the higher frame rate clips with smooth results? A lot of the time I am wanting a speed between what 60 and 120 frame footage made into 24 fps is giving me. Sorry if I asked this in a confusing way. I suck at explaining things
suwwans i recorded my footage in 60fps. Then i use the ‘interpret footage’ to change the footage to 24fps. And it does make the footage looks smooth slow motion. However, when i tried to speed ramp the footage, it looks choppy and not smooth. Just as same as playing 60fps footage in 24fps sequence setting. Any idea on how im gonna make the footage looks smooth?
Thank you so much. I am an architect and animator, so this video answered A LOT of the questions and problems I was dealing with in every animation I make and want to slow it down. Now I know I have to set the right frame rate for my animation to be smooth after slowing down in Premiere. THANKS A LOT
First of all thank you so much for your awesome video editing tips and tutorials. So i am a beginner at video editing and i have a question regarding frame rates. What if i am covering an event where i dont exactly know which portions will i be doing slow motions so lets say i shoot 70% of video in 60fps and 30% in 24fps. Would i be bringing all that in a 24fps timeline sequence? and lets say i end up doing only a 10% slowmo of that 70%/60fps. What happens then? does the 60fps footage look bad after final export? Or whats the better way of editing such a scenario. Thanks!!
Means all the footage will become slowmo then only the part which i want to make at normal speed or at fast speed change them accordingly? hmm.. interesting.
Don't use the interpret footage method for slow motion if you also need normal speed. Instead right click the clip you want slow motion in the timeline and set the speed to 40%, you can also set to optical flow instead of frame sampling.
If you really need the slowmotion and normal speed both in the same shot, make sure you shoot at double/triple/quadruple the normal speed (your edit frame rate) for best result, eg edit in 30fps, shoot in 120fps. Now while editing that footage you have easier time with premiere pro. But here is the kicker, you will still see some jitter in the video even if you render it out! That is not the premiere's fault nor your camera nor your monitor.... It is how your brain sees the moving image. Do you know what is missing in a video that is shot so fast that it has caught so many little details? The motion blur! Just add some forced motion blur into the footage and you should be golden.

Hi Matt. Thanks a lot for your very informative videos! But I have one more question: I'm going to shoot my first wedding soon. I live in Europe and shoot everything in PAL in 25 or 50 fps and not NTSC and my camera don't be able to shoot in 24 fps in the PAL mode. I thought, I use a sequence with 25 fps and slow down the 50 fps to the 25 timeline and also render the video in 25 fps. Do you agree with me? Or should I slow down all my footage to 24 fps? But then I have the problem with the sound. I think there is no visible difference in the end product between 24 and 25 fps. What do you think? Regards from Austria ;)
Dominik Weiss 25fps is totally fine in europe and standard framerate for everything. also TV runs in 25. the reason why matt is choosing 24fps is because this is the cinema framerate and his films will look more cinematic than with the american standard framerate of 29,97fps. cheers from germany ✌️🤓 25fps sind in europa völlig in ordnung und total normal. fernsehen läuft auch in 25fps. der grund warum matt 24fps wählt ist weil das die kino framerate ist. damit sehen seine filme eher cinematisch aus als mit der amerikanischen (ntsc) standard framerate von 29,97fps.
Vielen Dank für die Antwort subElements! Ok. die Kinofilme laufen aber auch bei uns mit 24fps, oder? Also wird man in der Praxis keinen Unterschied zwischen 24 und 25fps sehen und beides als "cinematisch" wahrnehmen!?
richtig, auch bei uns laufen filme im kino mit 24fps, außer HFR (high frame rate) produktionen wie am beispiel von "der hobbit", die laufen mit 48fps. das sieht man auch, ist ungewohnt und findet der großteil der zuschauer nicht schön bzw. eher befremdlich. um deine frage zu beantworten: ob 24 oder 25 fps, der unterschied von einem frame spielt so gut wie keine rolle ✌️🤓
I have a question. Why is it that you can have, let's say, a 60fps timeline with 60fps clips and slow them down to slomo, slower frame rates, but you can't have multiple frame rates play in real time on the same timeline?
Old comment but to clarify: a 60fps clip slowed down on a 60fps timeline won't give you the smooth slow mo you seemed to be implying. If you experienced this, maybe the edit was cut quickly, stutter unnoticeable, software correction (optical flow) or you had a timeline/sequence with a different fps.
BUT :) if you shoot 60p and edit it as 23.976 without making slow motion yes it looks bad in premiere, what happens when it is rendered? Is it bad or it looks fine?
Than maybe I do not have problems shooting 50p and rendering in 25p because it is exactly 2 times difference. Have you tried to render 30p with 60p footage? If it works it will be awesome because it is super convenient to shoot all the time with the possibility to slow it down later... one thing to think about less.
no motion blur . that the problem. when you shoot 60fps . he does the correct way to sync in up frame rate. higher framerate does it job depend on what shot u want. do you feel the different when slow motion footage 40% speed and 60fps you will lose 36fps if you conver to 24 and the video will look like missing frame jittery. or you need to replay this video
XzibitCA Because the shutter speed will be much higher. If you shot 60fps, you had to shoot at least 1/120 (or 1/125). Unless you're going for a music video/action look, it will look very jittery. Your video will lack that natural/cinematic motion blur of 1/48 (or 1/50).
true there isnt as much motion blur as having a lower frame rate and a lower shutterspeed to go with it but i filmed alot of my work with 120 fps at 250 shutter the whole video comes looking very HD bc of the high frame rate and honestly alot of my clients like it - they the quality is better bc of the frame rate lol
it still has the motion blur if you shoot it that way, simply because you are using 180 degree rule if you shoot at 24 fps you then use 1/50th shutter speed implying the shutter degree rule. So if you shoot at 120fps and using 1/250th shutter speed you are still using the 180degree angle which will still give you the natural/cinematic blur.
sure - but take his advice with a grain of salt. Look at the video he did two months later - his Wedding First Look - here he filmed everything at 60fps and 1080p. So yes, you can film it at 60fps and make it look just fine.
The reason it won't be more crisp at 23.97 frames output is because 23.97 output is an output of 23.97 frames regardless of how many frames are input. The reason 60fps footage will look jittery on a 23.97 output is because 60 into 23.97 doesn't go - so the timeline will sometimes skip every second frame, and will sometimes skip every second AND every third frame also. The footage won't be consistent - there will be micro-jumps as an inconsistent number of frames are being 'skipped'. In the U.K. (Pal) we don't have to worry bout this problem as we generally shoot at 25fps or 50fps - 50fps footage on a 25fps timeline is smooth because every second frame is skipped consistently.
I rarely comment on any video but you have a gift for breaking technology down and teaching it in a very comprehendible simple way. I appreciate your work, thanks Matt!

I have done many tests with this and that is why I shoot at 60fps and EDIT at 60fps that way your audio is still in sync (sorry Matt but true) but you have more frames to capture crisp, clear, sharp detail and movement in the scene and especially when you pan!! A little motion-blur is natural but fuzzy pixels when panning drives me crazy. Try it you’ll see….
This was extremely helpful
So much information for 12 minutes and you are bursting with enthusiasm and excitement. I love it!!!!
It's currently raining here. How's the weather for you on this fine Tuesday?
Brazil, also raining, but it's too hot here. Thanks for the tutorial
A wonderful 75 and sunny in SWFL. No complaints! Thanks for this video, incredibly helpful! A video about your workflow from start to finish would be great!
We had some light snow here in Portland, OR. But it’s back to rain again now. Suweet tutorial, Matt! My mind was blown!
We have a sunny weather here in NYC - feels like spring... : )
Austin is a drizzling but its a good day to stay in and watch your videos!
Haha, I've got a Shoot happening tomorrow. Totally sitting here the past 1 hour digging through all your videos! Still going strong. Haha, Love your humour and great ways of explaining things out. But hey! Quick Question, Does it work the same way with Final Cut Pro?
Do we prefer videos with *integer frame rates* over decimal frame rates? When you want to transfer digital videos to film, the integer frame rates are much better for audio & video in sync.
This is probably the best video I've seen for learning about slowing footage in PP. Just explained so well and clearly. Awesome :)
Hands down, you have the best tutorial videos for filming and editing on UA-cam. Now I just need to start using all the stuff I've learned from you for my videos.
O wow that really helped. I was using the speed / duration method. I like your version better.
Thanks Dashaun! :D
is there any visible benefit to using the interpret footage method verus the speed/duration? or is it just a time-saving method?
Seby Martinez with speed/duration, you can only i put the percentage of of the speed. so that means you gotta do some math to make sure that you type the exact percentage to a, let's say, 60fps footage to slow it down to exactly 23.976 fps.
I love your tutorial!
Just a question, if I click on a 60fps footage interpret it as a 24fps and then speed it up by 250% in the timeline, is there going to be a noticable difference from what it'd look like when shot in 24fps in the first place? So is it going to be this weirdly smooth like 60 played in real time or will it be somehow adjusted to 24 frames?
KisaneNeko did you get a answer to this question??
I’m wondering the same thing. If I batch set everything to 24fps. Then decide I want to get the 60fps back. What percentage do I increase it to? 250 percent?
@@thevanekslasvegasfoodvlog I did not get an answer, but in my completely amateur opinion it works fine :)
So if I use 60fps without interpreting, footage will look unnatural, super smooth and not really cinematic, but if I interpret it as 24fps, and then speed it up 250% I can't tell the difference between this and the footage originally shot in 24fps. (I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro & Encode)
And to answer your question, 24fps * 2.5 = 60 fps, so yes, 250% is the desired value.
@@KisaneNeko Thanks man.
@@KisaneNekohave you ever tried recording 60fps and editing on 60fps and just slowing down the parts you want on post by percentage?
Thank you for this. You really are good at teaching. 😋 I have a question. If you want to have your shoot in slomotion that speeds up in fast tempo and then slowing down again. This is a popular way to edit today. How does that fit in the choice of frame rate?
If you ever need slow motion on a clip you need to shoot in 60fps. Then you can right click the clip in the timeline, set it to show speed keyframes, then use the pen tool to select points to slow down or speed up for ramping. Don't go below 40% speed when shooting 60fps.
5 years later and youre still having an impact. Thanks brotha
you dont understand how much this video helped me not only am i gonna like it, but i will save it for next time in case if i forget how to do step by step, thanks matt
I have some footage I recorded in 60 frames (59.94 to be exact) and Premiere wont even give me the chance to convert the frame rate to what I want. The SECOND I import the footage Premiere converts from 59.94 frames to 14.99 frames. All my other clips are in 23.976. I tried making a new sequence with that frame rate (23.976), but once again as soon as Premiere is able to process those 59.94 clips it converts the frame rate to something unusable. I am pissed off. Could anyone help?
I have a question regarding frame rates (FPS), and I would really appreciate your help.
I understand the difference between the frame rate used while shooting Vs the sequence frame rate. If I shoot at 60fps, and add the clip to a 30fps timeline, I understand that premiere will remove half of the frames unless I stretch the clip twice for slowmotion.
Now, what I don't understand, however, is the difference between the sequence/timeline FPS and the export FPS. Let's say I edit on a 30fps timeline, but I export the final footage at 24fps or 60fps. Does premiere do the same thing and add/remove frames during export? If so, why should it even be an option? ( export framerate different from timeline framerate).
thanks a lot
That something similar what I'm wondering. Just because it looks a bit stuttering in the timeline does it automatically also become that in the export? It feel like it just Premiere trying to do the best to show the material but will it really effect the final result?
Once you have matched all the frame rates to 23.976 and you put them into the timeline, can you adjust the speed of the higher frame rate clips with smooth results? A lot of the time I am wanting a speed between what 60 and 120 frame footage made into 24 fps is giving me. Sorry if I asked this in a confusing way. I suck at explaining things
Hey! Yes you can speed up any of the slow motion clips to normal speed.
It would be a 60% more faster than que 60fps interpreted footage.
@@whoismatt anda how can i do it? clicking in clip speed/duration and change it?
suwwans i recorded my footage in 60fps. Then i use the ‘interpret footage’ to change the footage to 24fps. And it does make the footage looks smooth slow motion.
However, when i tried to speed ramp the footage, it looks choppy and not smooth. Just as same as playing 60fps footage in 24fps sequence setting. Any idea on how im gonna make the footage looks smooth?
Thank you so much. I am an architect and animator, so this video answered A LOT of the questions and problems I was dealing with in every animation I make and want to slow it down. Now I know I have to set the right frame rate for my animation to be smooth after slowing down in Premiere. THANKS A LOT
Best Premier Pro Tutorials on UA-cam...Hats off bro...Your Tutorials are very very helpful...From KERALA
First of all thank you so much for your awesome video editing tips and tutorials. So i am a beginner at video editing and i have a question regarding frame rates. What if i am covering an event where i dont exactly know which portions will i be doing slow motions so lets say i shoot 70% of video in 60fps and 30% in 24fps. Would i be bringing all that in a 24fps timeline sequence? and lets say i end up doing only a 10% slowmo of that 70%/60fps. What happens then? does the 60fps footage look bad after final export? Or whats the better way of editing such a scenario. Thanks!!
I would put it all into a 24fps sequence and interpret it all to 24fps. Only make the clips faster that you want to be faster.
Means all the footage will become slowmo then only the part which i want to make at normal speed or at fast speed change them accordingly? hmm.. interesting.
your videos are so good i want to buy you a different coloured t-shirt
What if I want to use slow motion AND normal speed in the same clip?
Don't use the interpret footage method for slow motion if you also need normal speed. Instead right click the clip you want slow motion in the timeline and set the speed to 40%, you can also set to optical flow instead of frame sampling.
But doing that (just reducing the speed) the problem wouldn't remains? (The weird effect when you use a clip and a sequence in different fps)
duplicate it and modify one of them to play at 24fps and leave the original at whatever you shot it in
If you really need the slowmotion and normal speed both in the same shot, make sure you shoot at double/triple/quadruple the normal speed (your edit frame rate) for best result, eg edit in 30fps, shoot in 120fps. Now while editing that footage you have easier time with premiere pro.
But here is the kicker, you will still see some jitter in the video even if you render it out!
That is not the premiere's fault nor your camera nor your monitor.... It is how your brain sees the moving image.
Do you know what is missing in a video that is shot so fast that it has caught so many little details?
The motion blur!
Just add some forced motion blur into the footage and you should be golden.
Nesting your footage will match your sequence frame rate, and will play in normal speed
This guy is the BEST teacher I have ever seen on youtube... and I'm a youtube-a-holic!
How does this guy not have a MILLION subscribers?! Zero hype and bullshit zooms and cuts and "what's up?" and nonsense. All useable, practical and well-explained tips, reviews and real world examples. GREAT channel. Can't stop watching.
Thanks Robert!
To address the people who say 'you should shoot everything in 60fps', I would assume they would export from a 60fps timeline... not a 24fps
Yes, and I still export the end result to 24fps. Never looks jittery or weird.
in summary select files in premiere pro - right click - modify - intepret footage - assume this frame rate 23.976 - done
He talk too much unusable thing. Only you point out correctly.
HaliWho actually he did mentioned this part, it's just burried in there
@@haliwho3213 unusable is relative. Might be for you, but not for others.
Hi Matt. Thanks a lot for your very informative videos! But I have one more question: I'm going to shoot my first wedding soon. I live in Europe and shoot everything in PAL in 25 or 50 fps and not NTSC and my camera don't be able to shoot in 24 fps in the PAL mode. I thought, I use a sequence with 25 fps and slow down the 50 fps to the 25 timeline and also render the video in 25 fps. Do you agree with me? Or should I slow down all my footage to 24 fps? But then I have the problem with the sound. I think there is no visible difference in the end product between 24 and 25 fps. What do you think?
Regards from Austria ;)
Dominik Weiss 25fps is totally fine in europe and standard framerate for everything. also TV runs in 25. the reason why matt is choosing 24fps is because this is the cinema framerate and his films will look more cinematic than with the american standard framerate of 29,97fps. cheers from germany ✌️🤓
25fps sind in europa völlig in ordnung und total normal. fernsehen läuft auch in 25fps. der grund warum matt 24fps wählt ist weil das die kino framerate ist. damit sehen seine filme eher cinematisch aus als mit der amerikanischen (ntsc) standard framerate von 29,97fps.
Vielen Dank für die Antwort subElements! Ok. die Kinofilme laufen aber auch bei uns mit 24fps, oder? Also wird man in der Praxis keinen Unterschied zwischen 24 und 25fps sehen und beides als "cinematisch" wahrnehmen!?
richtig, auch bei uns laufen filme im kino mit 24fps, außer HFR (high frame rate) produktionen wie am beispiel von "der hobbit", die laufen mit 48fps. das sieht man auch, ist ungewohnt und findet der großteil der zuschauer nicht schön bzw. eher befremdlich.
um deine frage zu beantworten: ob 24 oder 25 fps, der unterschied von einem frame spielt so gut wie keine rolle ✌️🤓
Danke :) hahaa, lustig, dass du das sagst, hab nämlich letztens "der hobbit" angeschaut und hab mir genau das dabei gedacht ;)
Dominik Weiss nices 2017 video by the way! der sprung in den night timelapse ist ja mal richtig epic!
The most easy and comprehensive explanation at the same time
These UA-cam champions-win again !!!!!!!!!! Great lessons.
I have a question. Why is it that you can have, let's say, a 60fps timeline with 60fps clips and slow them down to slomo, slower frame rates, but you can't have multiple frame rates play in real time on the same timeline?
You can, but the frame rates that don’t match the timeline will look stuttery
Old comment but to clarify: a 60fps clip slowed down on a 60fps timeline won't give you the smooth slow mo you seemed to be implying.
If you experienced this, maybe the edit was cut quickly, stutter unnoticeable, software correction (optical flow) or you had a timeline/sequence with a different fps.
BUT :) if you shoot 60p and edit it as 23.976 without making slow motion yes it looks bad in premiere, what happens when it is rendered? Is it bad or it looks fine?
Simeon Kolev in my experience it doesn’t look bad. I shoot a lot in 60fps and don’t always slow it down... maybe I’m breaking he rules but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey Simeon, the preview in Premiere should look the same as the rendered video.
Than maybe I do not have problems shooting 50p and rendering in 25p because it is exactly 2 times difference. Have you tried to render 30p with 60p footage? If it works it will be awesome because it is super convenient to shoot all the time with the possibility to slow it down later... one thing to think about less.
@Simeon Kolev
Because of this i would welcome if more camera companies allowed us to shoot at 48fps
no motion blur . that the problem. when you shoot 60fps . he does the correct way to sync in up frame rate. higher framerate does it job depend on what shot u want. do you feel the different when slow motion footage 40% speed and 60fps you will lose 36fps if you conver to 24 and the video will look like missing frame jittery. or you need to replay this video
How can I like this videos 300000 times ?

I just can´t used to how generous people are on the internet community, thank you!
Just watched two videos from you. I learned it so fast and have a good understanding of what I'm doing. You've earned a subscriber!
Why would 60 FPS be glittery/stuttery on a 23.97 timeline - would it look more crisp bc there’s more frames?
XzibitCA Because the shutter speed will be much higher. If you shot 60fps, you had to shoot at least 1/120 (or 1/125). Unless you're going for a music video/action look, it will look very jittery. Your video will lack that natural/cinematic motion blur of 1/48 (or 1/50).
true there isnt as much motion blur as having a lower frame rate and a lower shutterspeed to go with it but i filmed alot of my work with 120 fps at 250 shutter the whole video comes looking very HD bc of the high frame rate and honestly alot of my clients like it - they the quality is better bc of the frame rate lol
it still has the motion blur if you shoot it that way,
simply because you are using 180 degree rule
if you shoot at 24 fps you then use 1/50th shutter speed implying the shutter degree rule.
So if you shoot at 120fps and using 1/250th shutter speed you are still using the 180degree angle which will still give you the natural/cinematic blur.
sure - but take his advice with a grain of salt. Look at the video he did two months later - his Wedding First Look - here he filmed everything at 60fps and 1080p. So yes, you can film it at 60fps and make it look just fine.
The reason it won't be more crisp at 23.97 frames output is because 23.97 output is an output of 23.97 frames regardless of how many frames are input.
The reason 60fps footage will look jittery on a 23.97 output is because 60 into 23.97 doesn't go - so the timeline will sometimes skip every second frame, and will sometimes skip every second AND every third frame also. The footage won't be consistent - there will be micro-jumps as an inconsistent number of frames are being 'skipped'.
In the U.K. (Pal) we don't have to worry bout this problem as we generally shoot at 25fps or 50fps - 50fps footage on a 25fps timeline is smooth because every second frame is skipped consistently.
I rarely comment on any video but you have a gift for breaking technology down and teaching it in a very comprehendible simple way. I appreciate your work, thanks Matt!
Liked and subscribed !! Such an amazing teacher with such a wonderful personality . Didn't even realise the video was 12 minutes , felt so short
Just wanted to say I love your videos. You are my go to for anything film related. Of all the people on UA-cam, your videos are the easiest to digest. They're straight to the point while still being entertaining to watch. I've learned so much from you. Maybe one day our paths will cross and we can do a project together.
Nice, this helped out a lot
This is easy one of my fav videos of Matt. As an amateur video editor I just love how he takes the time to explain and make everything so easy to understand. A loyal subscriber and fan here!
I just discovered this video because I had several videos in different frame rates, magnificent explanation and such a good vibe mate! I'm definitely subscribing!
Best channel I've stumbled on to !! Keep doing this Matt !
This is the best video I found explaining mixed frame rates, great to understand this across both filming and editing, thank you!
This is so fantastic! You have such a great talent for explaining things. Someone taught me to do this years ago but never explained the why in a way I understood so I just forgot and moved on. Now I get it and will do so moving forward!
I cannot thank you enough for this. I went on a rabbit hole on google trying to figure this out. I currently shoot everything on iPhone and was one of those people that shot everything in 60FPS 😂 now I’m learning how to adjust as I shoot and it’s helped a lot. But this video was so helpful because I am trying to edit something similar. THANK YOU!
Also, do you have a video explaining how to export with videos in different FPS?
What a golden personality seriously. Thank you for these extremely thorough straight to the point high quality videos. I couldn’t resist clicking everything from subscribe to like to wow I can’t leave without leaving a comment!
Love your personality, makes such a helpful tutorial so much better
Hi Matt did you use S &Q mode for slow motion? or you just put it in 60 frame normal model and then slow it down and post?
Great video ! I love how you explain the theory of why you use the frame rates and why you change the format/settings and also how quick you get the questions answered. No long talks about blah blah blah... GREAT JOB !
Fantastic Video! Have been confused as to what fps I should shoot in and why. Also never understood sequencing videos to be the same fps until now! THANK YOU! Sometimes I feel some tutorials go over things but miss a step. This was perfect and you definitely gained a new subscriber! Thanks again!
I am new to shooting video and new to Pr... and you just brought my stress level down 30 points!! Thank you for an amazing breakdown... can't wait to watch your entire library.
Thank you for not being a timewaster for viewing time. You are precise and to the actual point. Excellent work. Well done! I hope your channel kicks off to a mil subs...
Matt, you're the most helpful man on UA-cam
My friend Alec shared your channel with me. FINALLY.... real tutorials, easy to understand. Your videos are the SHIT. Subscribed. Thank you, sir.
Matt. This tutorial is gold. Thanks for taking the time to create your tutorials. I have learnt alot from you. All the best from Ireland.
I'm new to filming and was struggling with understanding this before. You just made everything so easy to digest. Great work. MVP
Just started my creating journey..... This has ticked a massive box for me and helped with some of my slo motion and regular footage.
Yes Matt! You legend for describing all that. A star goes to you 🌟
I just found your tutorial on this topic that has had me stumped! I am pretty new to video and have been trying to figure out how to shoot different types of footage and whether or not I can use different frame rates for clips that will be a part of the same final video. This is explained SO well and I'm so relieved I can plan a variety of footage at different frame rates now! Thank you so much!
Holy shit Matt, 214K subs?! Congrats! I think the channel was 2K when I started following along, glad to see the growth
U have excelled in Making things understandable to the viewers 💯
I didn't know about this tip for interpreting footage. It's very helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing it. Subscribed.
That was awesome. Something that I had no idea and was just blindly stretching and compressing without the foresight. Much appreciated Matt.
This is one of the most helpful videos I have ever watched :)
Im going to Tokyo and working on my first project and this was EXTREMELY HELPFUL....I'm going to binge watch all of your tutorials!!!!!
im glad i stumbled on this video. now i know because of you the best way to start a project: modify the framerates of all clips in the bin all at once (matching it with the timeline fps) before taking them into the timeline to save time. that is super.... thanks for this idea. big help for my work flow.
I am not a fan of weddings, really. Like, at all, but I find myself coming back to your videos pretty often.
Matt, you're a great teacher, clear and concise. Thank you.
Extremely helpful video, very well explained, precise and crisp
Matt should be the only person allowed to make video tutorials.
Thanks man. While editing my casual travel footage shot from different cell phones, vastly ignored the principles mentioned in these videos which resulted in some flickers here and there on my videos. Did it manually on each clip which was a pain in the a**. Thanks again man
Very good explanation. Easy to understand for beginners. Love it
You are a FANTASTIC instructor!!! I appreciate ALL of your videos. Thank you!!!
Nice video. Thank you! But why I can not drag any other clips on the timeline with a different frame rate then the original one? What am I doing wrong? Anything on the setting? I have tried many clips with different rates and I am only allowed to drag the clips with the same rate as the original, it only recognizes the audio. Please, someone help! Thank you!
