How do you know what Frame rate to put your footage on?
Like I have tenjho tenge and it's frame rate is 29 but when i rendered it in 29 i got a bunch of blended frames so i was told to put it to 23.927 or whatever and so i just wanna ask if that happens all the time when you gotta change frame rate?

Re: How do you know what Frame rate to put your footage on?
It depends on how you've processed the video beforehand, and how the editing program is set up. Running proper IVTC on a 29.97fps source will give you 23.976, which you can either use as-is or might need to speed up to 24fps for the editor to use. If the editor is set up improperly, then the best thing would not be to use a different framerate where the issue doesn't appear, but to find out the true cause of the problem and solve that (if it involves using a different fps then so be it, but if it's something other than that then there's no need to muck up the fps).
For instance, there could be incorrect deinterlacing/field options set in the editor, and switching it to a Progressive or No Fields setting could solve the issue entirely. It could also be a mismatch between the editor's internal fps setting and the export fps setting (Premiere can suffer from this). Basically, you want to make sure that the source footage's fps, editor's internal fps, and the export fps are all the same, and that - unless you actually mean to edit in interlaced mode - everything is also Progressive. All of that should be checked before editing even starts.
Essentially, framerate is not as concrete an aspect of the video as it might seem. You could have 23.976fps footage, but speed it up to 60fps and edit entirely in 60fps. Now, I think that's a waste (not the 60fps bit, as I've rendered at 60fps before, but not with footage that was predominantly some other framerate), but it can be done.
