Multiple Frame Rates

[Chris Kennett]

This isn't life or death or anything, just slightly annoying. I'd like to keep updating my showreel with more recent works. The trouble is, I have work that ranges from 12fps to 30fps, and exporting as one swf or mov is impossible without one clip suffering because of it.

So my question is.."Is there a way or cheat of exporting multiple frame rates in the same movie?"

Unfortunately I dealt with just that earlier this year & didn't come up with an easier solution. Your best bet is to compile it in After Effects( Expand your layer options by clicking the 3rd tab [ looks sorta like { }] & stretching the ones with a smaller framerates using the slider. If you need to do it in flash adding an single frame ( I sure you know the F5 trick) for every frame & keyframe usually does the trick. Sometimes (usually on12fps) you have to insert a third frame to keep the motion accurate. Your best bet is to select all the layers of one frame number & go from there ( tweens & symbols have to be nitpicked). I don't know if this helped you, but Good Luck on your reel.

Thanks man. Will have to invest in AE later on. Maybe when CS4 hits the shelves I'll do a big upgrade. Appreciate your feedback.
