omg sorry mistake, this shoud be like this - "and will there be some double frames?"
anyway this first question is a little messed up, so focus on this sentance -I mean does the timeline have the same number of frame-spots always, or it depedns on what you set on project settings??
frame spots or how i should call it...maybe...frame slots...i hope you know what i mean...
i have some image sequences in my project so that is the biggest problem for me. I exported some sequences jsut to see if ther is any difference and i exported from "25 to 30", from "25 to 25", and from "30 to 30" and to me it seems like there is no difference from any of these 3 exports, but i want to make sure...
Anyway the second question is more imprtant...
I'm not exactly sure what Premiere normally does, but if you go from 25 fps to 30 fps, the program has to somehow add 5 fps to make up the difference. Depending on the settings, this may mean sped up footage or extra frames. The sure way to find out is to compare the videos side by side and analyze the frames.
I use Magix MEP11 and when I change the project settings from 29.97 fps to 24 fps, the number of 'frame slots' changes. Above the timeline is a timecode with the format of mm:ss:ff and if the project is long enough, hh:mm:ss:ff where hh=hours, mm=minutes, ss=seconds, ff=frames.
When set to 29.97 fps (30 fps), the count goes 00:00:00, 00:00:01, 00:00:02, ... 00:00:29, 00:01:00, 00:01:01, etc.
When set to 24 fps, the count goes 00:00:00, 00:00:01, 00:00:02, ... 00:00:23, 00:01:00, 00:01:01, etc. Same goes for 25 fps.
Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum allows you to set the 'frame slots' in the Project Properties on the Ruler tab. If set for SMPTE Drop (29.97 fps, Video), which I think is the default, the timecode is the same as my Magix example above except the format is hh:mm:ss;ff all the time. SMPTE Non-Drop (29.97 fps, Video) is formatted the same as Magix - hh:mm:ss:ff. Time & Frame is hh:mm:ss.ff. There are many other options, but the pattern is the same as Magix. I'm assuming that the non-Movie Studio (full) version is similar.
I can't remember if Premiere does the same thing since it's been a while since I used it, but I'm pretty sure that if you set up the project correctly it should.
