Hello community....

I am new to the video editting world. I have been using a copy of Pinnacle to put together a music video from footage captured from video games. The problem I am having is that the different pieces of footage have different frame rates (25,40,60...) and Pinnacle will not allow me to place them in the same project. Is there a way I can convert the frame rates of the footages to a common frame rate so I can make them 'jive' together?

Can anyone help me, maybe point me in the right direction. Do I have to buy some new software to change the frame rates. Can anyone recommend something?

That is an annoying restriction. Maybe you should considor different editor if there is no way of doing this in pinnacle (I am not familiar with pinaccle).

A program called virtual dub is free, if a bit teccy, and is often used for swapping formats / codecs. Other programs can do this too but this is what I sometimes use.

Hey Mark W, thank a lot, I'm going to go try that right now. I'll let you know how it goes. Anyone else has suggestions?
