When dealing with input video marked as telecined, it correctly identifies the input framerate (23.976 fps). Unfortunately, the options for framerate interpolation are geared for streaming (with the exception of 29.97 and 59.94) rather than being related to the input framerate. Like with slow motion or output resolution, there should be 2x and 4x multipliers (which might allow removing 59.94). This should allow for the best possible quality, where all the original frames are kept and generated frames are only needed in between.
You are able to manually type in a frame rate if desired.
Here is a quick tutorial that shows various tips and tricks in the app.
That’s great! Now I feel silly. Thanks for letting me know and posting the link.
I actually want to come back and reopen this request.
I do agree that a multiplier option should be offered.
Why?
Because not all FPS are created equal, for example a 29.97 FPS video can either be 29970/1000 or 30000/1001.
I have noticed that when using Topaz to interpolate frames, Chronos Fast specifically, when taking a 29.97 video that is actually (30000/1001 FPS), it will output a video that is 59940/1000 FPS. This visually does not look the same as a video that is 59.94 FPS @ 60000/1001.
So when I have a video that is 29.97 FPS (30000/1001) and run it through Topaz for frame interpolation, I get back a video that is 59940/1000 FPS, which doesn’t look right. It should be 60000/1001 FPS (which I have seen Topaz output a few times, however I’m not sure how to get it to always output it at 60000/1001 FPS versus 59940/1000 FPS).
Thanks in advance for your understanding.
