Any tips on how to prevent/fix this? I want to slow things down and at 59.94fps I should be able to go down 50% and get smooth slowmotion at half the frame rate. What setting am I missing?
If your project frame rate is 29.976 and your delivery frame rate is 29.976, what's wrong with a Playback Rate of 0.50? Disable Resample at the project level.
I changed from Smart Resample to Disable Resample and that did the trick. I didn't change the project frame rate from 59.94 to 29.97 however. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
