Converting 60p or 30p footage to smooth 24p: a quick guide. Posted in Adobe Premiere, Cameras. 30fps and 60fps have a distinctly “video” look.

I previously had a Sony NEX-3 camera which had MP4 video of 1280x720 at 30fps. Now I have a Sony NEX-F3, and presumably because I live in a PAL region the MP4 video option of 1440x1080 is locked to 25fps. If I have video in both frame rates that I want to edit together, is it best to convert the 25fps to 30fps or 30fps to 25fps?

Does it matter which way you go to get the best/smoothest video? What is the best tool to achieve this? I'm using MP4 and not AVCHD because I find it easier to work with on a PC (demuxing/muxing, joining/splitting etc). The MP4 is at a lower bitrate and resolution (1440 vs 1920 wide), but it looks pretty good and is a bit more economical on disk space - and it is just family videos I'm doing after all. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Thanks, Scott. I have used (a long time ago) for deinterlacing some Mini DV video that I had, so I'm sure I can manage it if I have some advise on the plugins to use and examples of the script to follow.

It's only family videos we're talking about but I would imagine slowing everything from 30 fps to 25 fps would look unnatural. Then of course you'd have to change the audio length, then presumably compensate for the corresponding pitch change.

I can give it a try though. I imagine from what you are saying is that this would result in the best video output as you're retaining the same video frames and not having to re-encode anything - the video just displays at a different speed. When you say 'jitteryness or blended frames', I assume you mean that going 30 fps =>25 fps means dropping every 6th frame (jitteryness) and 25 fps =>30 fps means blending every 5th and 6th frame (blending frames).

Jitteryness sounds bad, but I guess either option is in essence playing the video either sped up or slowed down but compensation every 1/5 or 1/6 of a second with a blended or skipped frame. Blended frames sounds at least that it will be smoother.
