From 24 frame per second to 60 frame per second, Help?

Hi Folks,

This is Eugene again.

Need your help with answers with Shortcut.

I thought I did it right but it looks like I didn’t.

I imported a MP4 video that’s 24 frame per second ratio.

The video frame rate is 2400 frame per second.

When I imported the video on the Timeline.

I clicked on “Advance” and I thought that I can change the ratio rate when I “export” it.

On the “Advance” I clicked on the frame ratio from 24000 to 60 frame per second.

Once after I exported that MP4 video as a 60 frame per second ratio rate.

I playback that video I made…. And it doesn’t show any different.

It showed that I made it 60 frame per second ratio. But watching the video does show any affect. Still look 24 frame per second ratio on my finalize video. NOT in 60 second frame per second ratio.

Anyone knows??? Can you send me screenshot or video on how to be sure that I change the frame ratio??? From 240000 to 60 frame per second finalize???

Thanks,

Eugene

What were you expecting to be different? How are you doing this test? Were you expecting the video to play faster? If so, that does not work the way you think.

The very first step for any project is to set the Settings > Video Mode . What frame rate have you set in your video mode? When the video mode frame rate does not match the clip frame rate, Shotcut will skip or repeat frames to make sure that the video appears to play at the original speed.

If you want the video appear faster, you have to apply a speed effect. Either change the speed in the clip properties panel, or add one of our “Speed” filters.

Sorry, I meant frame/sec. from 2400 to 60 frame per second. NOT ratio.

I’m trying to experiment on a MP4 video that plays 24 frame per second. It’s ration is 16:9.

That’s the frame/sec.

And I’m trying to change it into 30 or 60 frame/sec. at my end as export it.

Hope that I made it clarify.

Thanks,

Eugene

The best way to convert 24fps to 30fps or 60fps is to change the frame rate in the Settings > Video Mode . Either choose a standard video mode with 30/60fps, or make a custom mode. When you export, DO NOT change any advanced settings. The export frame rate will match the video mode that you set.

Hi Brian,

Thanks, I HATE that original MP4 video that shows in 24fps!!! And I want to make it right to have it as either 30fps or 60fps.

Hey Brian, before I forget. I wanna express that when I was watching TV. ( analog picture tube 27 inch TV set ) I’ve seen TV commercials that were filmed and it showed their frame rate, NOT only 24fps to 30fps. But 60!! It looks like VIDEO format, but they probably made the speed up the commercial film to look like LIVE VIDEO!!! My thought of that is very cool!!! Like one TV commercial that I never forget that’s on film but speed was up to 60fps was a knee medicine TV ad.

Also, I’ve notice on STAR TREK the Original TV series, it showed their film a little speed up.

With the above films I saw, I can tell they made it speed up by notice the “Motion” on the film. The movement of the characters and action were looked LIVE video. But they were films.

Got it??? I love that nowaday tech. on films to video or digital video.

Hey Brian,

Monday night 9:30 pm.

Hey I tried what you suggested.

Go to Setting>Video Mode>or Custom.

I tried up to 60fps on that MP4 video that is 24fps.

The outcome with that…. NO changes. No difference.

:neutral_face: :roll_eyes:

What did I do wrong???

I thought that I followed what you said. Making the original MP4 with 24fps on the Timeline, and go to SETTINGS>VIDEO MODE>60fps.

I wonder IF the original MP4 with 24fps is copyrighted???

Format is yuv420p

Codec: H.264 / AVC / MPEG4 AVC / MPEG 4 Part 10

Does this matter to you???

Again the outcome after exporting as MP4 / 60fps does NOT make any difference. Still see 24fps on a 60fps finalized. And I format it as MP4 also.

@cruznvideollc Hello Eugene.

Open shotcut, in there you see a small panel that lets you name your project and choose it’s profile, in there if you click on the thing where it says automatic, you can choose different video profiles, in there just click a matching resolution that also shows that it has 60fps, then import the footage on timeline, if it asks to convert or something like that, then decline, and go to export panel and export as default, you can click on advanced to make sure it’s 60fps or not.

What result do you want from changing the frame rate? Speed ​​up the video or smooth it out? If you want to speed it up, select 60 fps and set the video speed to 2.5x (24 * 2.5 = 60) in the properties tab. If smoothness is your goal, you can achieve this with Shotcut’s built-in converter. When you add a video, the program will offer to convert it: “convert to edit friends” > advanced > override frame rate = 60 > framerate conversion = Motion compensation (slow). If the video is long and high-resolution, you’ll have to wait a very long time for the conversion to complete, but the video will ultimately be much smoother due to the added frames. However, if you simply need a smooth video, it’s better to use third-party applications; they’re usually faster.

Hi dimadjdocent,

I got it…. Now I know what I meant to say.

The answer to this is to “Smooth out” the MP4 video as 30 or 60 fps.

That 24 fps look slow but the audio delay.

Yes, dimanjocent, the answer for you is “Smooth out”.
I guess that’s the best way to say it or interpret on this thread.

NOT speeds up.

Which other how you interpret, I’m seeing the MP4 with a slow motion as 24 fps with audio delay. And I wanted to have it right to be as 30 or 60fps with audio. Like most videos.

Okay dimadjdocent???

IF you believe that I may have to go for a third party tool, which you stated in your message. Can you guide me to the right site to download and a free tool???

Hope to hear back from you.

Thank you,

Eugene

Topaz Video AI is considered one of the best. If you’re looking for a free alternative, consider Flowframes Video Interpolator. There are other similar open-source tools.

You can also use Shotcut’s built-in converter to a user-friendly format, but it’s very slow and doesn’t utilize your video card. If your video is short, you might want to try the built-in converter.

Uh dimadjdocent,

The MP4 video with 24fps is 52 minute long.

:roll_eyes:

I think to make your search easier, look for “interpolation”.
