I'm trying to set my duration to 24 frames per second. In the duration menu I have an option to dial all the way down to ONLY 2/30 which gives me 15 frames per second. It will not allow me to adjust to one as it will default it straight back to 2 once I click OK. If I could at least dial it down to 1 I could get 30 frames per second (I assume), but it wont even allow me to do that. Is there something I'm missing that can allow me to create a 24 frames per second video? Or even a 30 frames per second video?

For reference, what I'm trying to do is stack still images together to create a video.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

To my knowledge the smallest time duration in PD7 is 2/30 as you described. (for pictures or video slices) I know no way around this. I've used Virtualdub to perform the video generation from a series of sequentially numbered photos as you appear to be doing. I then input the result video into PD7.

If you use multiple pip tracks and overlap each 2/25 sec clip by half you will get 1/25 frames. The limitation is that on the last track you will get a 2/25 frame before you start the sequence again resulting in fewer that 25 separate frames in one second. Talk about tedious

!!. There must be another programme better suited to this.

Hi Guys,
Not my area I'm afraid, but I seem to remember playing with animation software where you can set the frame rate from 0- whatever fps and produce a 'movie', I think in flash format?? from imported images?

Maybe that type of software might work?? I can't think it will be as good but who knows???
