making 24 fps look like 16 fps

wwjd wrote on 1/25/2021, 10:44 AM

I want to fake a 8mm film look by reducing 24 fps video to 16 fps video, while keeping the motion speed the same - IE as if it was normal motion filmed at 16fps.

I know about changing speeds, but there is another setting buried a little deeper - sorry I forget the name and am not near my eiditing Vegas computer - where you tell it a percentage or something, and it kinda drops frames and adds jitter.

Anyone messed with that successfully and can offer maths of how to hit around 16 fps from 24, leaving the motion teh same?

If you select properties from the video on the timeline, you have a UNDERSAMPLE option. Does that do what you want? I tested it and it does seem to show fewer frames without affecting speed.

set up ur project 24fps, create a nest for that video, and change that nested sequence to 16fps.

So u have a video (nested) with a playback rate 16fps in 24fps timeline (master project)

yeah that is probably it! Undersample. Now, what crazy maths should I use to find 16 from 24? maybe cut in HALF, then bump up a 1/3 of the next half? I guess I will play with it, and go for "good enough"

I believe it should be about .666. 16 divided by 24.

cool, using that feature, it TELLS you what frame rate you are ending up at
