Rendering to make it look like its 16fps

Hi

When I watch my video in the preview window in draft quality the movement looks exactly like I want it to look. It gives the video this old film look of running only at 16-18fps.

So i recorded the video to miniDV and the movement looks perfect. However as it is in draft quality the image quality is not high quality as I'd want it to be.

So my question is. How do I make it run 16-18fps but still keep the image quality good?

I need to make a high quality avi of the music video to send to be broadcast. Can I just choose avi uncompressed template and make it 16-18fps. Is it gonna work?

Thanks!!

Sami

Could it be so easy that I change the project to 18fps and then render it to avi 25fps with the pal dv template?

-EDIT-
Talking to myself here :) No this didnt work, the video still looks way more smooth then if I record it to miniDV while using it as external monitor and set the quality to draft.

Maybe do what essami says but click on "disable resample" by right-clicking the clip and choosing properties.

1 - "Record to new track" {when you see the video of the project as you like it)
2 - Right Click the new track and "Insert Video Envelope>Velocity"
3 - Drag Velocity line UP until it reads about 150% (about 18fps)
4 - Adjust speed to your liking.
5 - File>Render As> MPEG/ AVI, QT, WMV - what ever you like.

Result faster "old time" motion with full original quality.

Your sound will not be in sync, and end video will be shorter (playing faster).

Changing the undersample rate doesn't give you the effect you're looking for? Setting it to .534 equals 16.004fps

hi,

thanks for all the help! In the end I ended up using the draft preview to miniDV method after all. It creates this random hiccup style that I was after :) And the video is black&white (not grayscale) so the quality wasnt effected much.

Hang on a second: are you saying that setting the video preview window to "Draft" affects rendering quality?
If that's the case, I would have been setting it to BEST all these years, instead of using "Preview (Auto)"
Explain this to me, please.

No, the settings in the PREVIEW window do not affect the final render. That is determined by the settings in the PROPERTIES.
