Setting Timeline Frame Rate

Barton-Santello wrote on 8/2/2019, 3:54 PM

Hi. I am working on restoring a silent-era film (1918) in another application. The original nitrate film was scanned to HD digital with the resulting output of the restored frames in DPX file format at 16 fps. Vegas Pro supports DPX and I'm considering editing the restored film in Vegas Pro The target frame-rate for the exported movie will also be 16fps.

Does anyone know how to set the 'project properties' to 16fps, so the timeline frame-rate matches the film?

Thanks.Bart

Can you type "16"?

Yess? Than type this in the framerate of the projectsettings.😄

Alternately, when you go to add the media to the timeline, Vegas will ask you if you want to set your project settings to match that of the media added. Do this.

For using DPX files, which I assume you would import as image sequence, you would also need to set the 16 fps in the media properties window which appears during the image sequence import process. Once your image sequence media property is set to 16 fps, the project property would match the way fr0sty mentioned above.

Fortunately, this way (by typing the fps value) Vegas Pro supports any fps rate between 0.050 and 120 fps in 0.001 increments.
