Exporting in a different FPS

[Toshi.des]

While the title says "exporting in a different FPS" it actually should be the same.

I used this script to convert a .mkv clip to use for editing in Premiere.

Code: Select all

directshowsource("LOCATION OF VIDEO")
ConvertToYV12()
LanczosResize(640,440)
AssumeFPS(24)
KillAudio()
mftoon(strength=200)

from my knowledge "AssumeFPS(24) would force it to 24 fps, original footage is 23.98. While premiere views the clip fine and edits it fine, when I try to export it with 24 fps selected I get static. But if I recreate the project as 23.976 it exports fine.

Is there a way to get the clip to export from premiere in 24 fps? Also if their isn't a way, is it alright to continue editing with the current source I converted that has "AssumeFPS(24)" yet is being edited and exported at 23.976?

Help appreciated.

Hmm, that's odd. What kind of static are you getting? Premiere should totally think that it is dealing with 24 fps video if there is an AssumeFPS(24) line in your script. I'm wondering if it has something to do with your export settings rather than your script...

Also, just using a 24 FPS source in a 23.976 project will not affect things TOO much, but you will have to really look at all your transitions and cuts to make sure Premiere doesn't cut extra frames or add extra frames due to the timing difference. The only way to tell is to watch the exported video, it'll look fine on the timeline...
