Best timeline fps for mixing 30, 50 and 60 fps videos?

So now I’m stuck with some choices: do I choose a 60fps timeline and let shotcut duplicate and fill in the missing frames? Do I go with 50 so it only has to drop frames for the 60->50 (Is this smoother than duplicating for 50->60?). Or would 30 fps be better so both 50 and 60 will have more change to spread out the dropped frames and looks smoother?

I would suggest to set your video mode to 60 fps because:

• It will perfectly match most of your footage (30 and 60 fps)
• For 25/50 fps footage, it gives the shortest delta to the correct time when skipping/dropping frames
