High Frame Rate transcoding does not go higher than 60fps
Plain and simple: bring back high frame rate encoding. It was in AME 2019 and at some point it was removed. Could this have anything to do with conforming to 'broadcast standards' related to timecode? As time code doesn't exist in formats faster than 60fps. Find a way around it because this is an essential editing feature request. ProRes is not solely for broadcast delivery, in fact it is the backbone of most editing pipelines who choose to not edit native.


Hi all,
Thanks for the input on this. We are aware of this issue and it will be fixed. I don't have a date to share yet but I will update this message when I do.
Thanks,
Fergus

Yes this needs to be fixed badly.
Especially since Media Encoder 2019 deals with higher frame rates just fine, why the limit to 60 in newer versions?

For everyone else you can use custom framerate with AfterCodecs Exporter for Adobe https://www.autokroma.com/blog/How-to-Export-Custom-Framerates-PPro-AME/
for now it is integer only but we're working on decimal support

Eleni could you send us your 47.95 fps file ? https://www.autokroma.com/contact
We could solve that issue

AME is changing my 120fps to 60 and also changing my 47.95 footage to 50fps, which adds extra redundant frames. I've been trying to find out if this is user error or a bug (or if Adobe just doesn't want to pay for extra Apple ProRes licenses?) Please address this Adobe

We need to get this fixed for our exports

You can use AfterCodecs Exporter for Adobe (Premiere, AME, After Effects) to export good looking H264 videos, and fast https://www.autokroma.com/AfterCodecs
There is a free 500 frames trial there to test.It supports custom framerate https://www.autokroma.com/blog/How-to-Export-Custom-Framerates-PPro-AME/

Please make Media Encoder or Premiere allow converting to 100/ 120fps to ProRes proxies as used with many cameras. Shutter Encoder works perfectly but would be great to use inside Premiere or ME.

for an ENCODER to have this kind of bug in 2021 is astonishing ignorance to me...
for software engineers who work through days, nights, hours and hours to NOT understand how many of our hours/nights have been wasted on useless batch renders due to a braindead bug - well you really should be embarrassed that you still have not fixed this as of today.... -

Another a7s3 user, here. It's not a great suite for this footage, no matter what codec/bandwidth you use. Premiere is jumpy and difficult on my iMac Pro (though I know it's faster on the M1) with or without proxies, but the fact that there is no way to export higher framerates is ludicrous.
Even if the user's endpoint render is as low/lower than 24 fps, Adobe's limit is essentially implying that there is NO SCENARIO where we would want to be in control of native/custom frame rates at higher speeds. Ignorance warning, here: is it really that hard to give us/develop the code as an option? It's crazy to me that the suite is so varied in QA/QC between apps and capabilities.
I'm officially looking at costs/tutorials for Da Vinci/FCP X. I'm not saying that as a threat to say how dare Adobe not kowtow to our every wish and demand, but at the same time - I've got to earn my paycheck here like everyone else. Gotta edit with the best/convenient/capable way I can with the footage I need to use (which isn't a new concept - high frame rates over 60fps have existed long before 2019/2020/2021) - but at this exact moment, Adobe Encoder/Premiere fail spectacularly in this manner.

Any chance of this actually being addressed? Or does adobe believe that dynamic linking is enough to keep us having to put up with asinine restrictions instead of jumping ship?

Been here for more than a year now, no progress. Meanwhile swapped to davinci resolve so now I am editing in davinci, however it is fascinating that nobody from adobe did not address this issue. This is not really sort of a small bug, it is quite a large issue that prevents us to edit videos even with really powerful machines. My top notch macbook pro cannot handle sony a7s3 120fps footage so I have to make proxies, and adobe acutally made my editing litterally impossible in premiere pro so I had to switch cause I did not have any choice left.. this is quite absurd for such a powerful company. Is there any other place obline where we can complain about this?

Why is Media Encoder incapable of converting high frame rate files to equivalent Pro Res high frame rate. Trying to convert 200fps or 100fps and Media Encoder reduces the converted Pro Res file to 60fps. I wasn't aware that Media Encoder was a low grade application. Why are we not being given the high end application that we all thought we were paying for? Its about time you sorted this issue out Adobe. High Frame rates are a common occurrence in 2021.

How is this not fixed yet? Adobe, get you **** together and provide us with 100 and 120fps proxies!

This is 2021 - High Frame Rate recordings are a mainstay in the editing world. It's not going anywhere. FPS still caps at 60 fps. No 120 or 240 or 600 or whatever option. Wouldn't it be great if the consumer had the ability to natively (without 3rd part apps/plugins) create proxies according to their preferences? I think so!

Guys, I found a workaround. Buy Davinci Resolve :) No, seriously, I aquired a licence for Davinci studio 17, and it has proxy workflow, so it is possible to import your footage in Davinci, make prores proxies with snap of your fingers and link those files to your media in Premiere. So that kinda resolves it (pun intended).

Bruh, It’s 2021 and still no prores encoding above above 60 FPS

Please bring back the 120fps ProRes encoding option. I am working with the Sony 120fps 4:2:2 files and need to use proxies. I didn't realize all of my files were encoded to 60fps and when I attached the proxies every shot I used as slow-motion was messed up because of this limitation.
