Dafydd,
Excellent, thank you. When I first segmented portions of the original 30p fps video into clips, I was simply focused on making those clips and wanted the highest quality output possible. Intuitively, I would expect that "up-scaling" isn't possible - what good would it do to produce 120p clips when the source file is 30p? However, there is a noticeable quality improvement between the two (perhaps going with 120p and a higher bitrate helps compensate for some degradation that occurs from making the clips?), so I went with 120p.
Now, several weeks later, I went to make a "movie" combining several of the clips. That is when I ran into my problem.
Yes, when I produced the clips, the bitrate was 4X higher as well.
With this additional info, do you have any additional advice to add? Would you say that "upscaling" in the first place is a mirage, that a 30p clip should look the same as a 120p clip when the original source file is 30p? Is there a different way to approach this?
Many thanks - I appreciate all the advice I can get.
T.J.

My source file is a 30 FPS file. I used PD14 to extract clips from this source file, using 1920x1080/120p format for the output files. Now, I want to merge all of these clips together into a movie, but I keep getting the "frame per second" mismatch popup error.
What are my options? Re-making the clips into 30p output format is one option, but the quality of the clips is slightly lower than the 120p files. I tried ignoring the "frame per second" error and producing an output file merging the 120p clips together, but the quality was disastrous.
It seems like PD cannot handle files that it produces!
