Issue with Swift and 23fps videos Thread poster: Tia Muller

Hi! I am experiencing issues with Swift when I upload a 23fps video. First of all, Swift thinks that the video is at 25fps. Then, the second issue arises when I manually change the settings to 23.976fps (I do not have a setting for 23fps), a discrepancy then arises between the burnt-in timecode and swift timecode. By the end of the clip, which was in this case only 6 min, I have a discrepancy of 9 seconds. I have only ever had this issue with 23fps videos... See more Hi!

I have written in the past to the technical support for Swift and never received any answer from them, so I was hoping that someone here might have had a similar problem and found a solution.

Hi Tia, Where do you get these 23 fps videos? I've never seen a 23 fps video anywhere. Don't you mean 24 fps by any chance? | | | Faustine.Rou (X) Local time: 07:42 English to French update + TSD | Mar 24, 2016 |
Hi Tia, You might need to have your software updated. I had the same problem until they sent me the new version. You may have to pay (a lot!) though. Also, it will help a lot if your client sends you the TSD file. This will force Swift to follow the video's timecode, whatever it is. I hope that helps and good luck ! | | | Tia Muller Spain Local time: 08:42 English to French + ... TOPIC STARTER 23fps it was | Mar 24, 2016 |
As strange as it sounds, it is a 23fps video. | |

I will ask the client next time for the TSD file, although this time they just decided to go with someone else as it was less headache for them. | | | Max Deryagin Russian Federation Local time: 11:42 Member (2013) English to Russian

Weird as it may seem, Subtitle Workshop v6 has, among its various input standards: 23.97 FPS 23.976 FPS 23.978 FPS 24 FPS Any Video Converter Pro has: 23.976 FPS 24 FPS I could go on checking, but the clue I see is that there should be NO 23.000 FPS video around. Of course, 24 FPS was originally born from film, 16 mm and Sound Super-8 telecine, and its near-misses from drop-frames in digital video afterwards. Maybe this "slight" difference is accruing over the playing time and causing the slippage. | | | Tia Muller Spain Local time: 08:42 English to French + ... TOPIC STARTER Yes, that's right. | Mar 24, 2016 |
I think so too that this is what is happening, José, with Swift. It has to be. However, I am glad to see that you pro guys also see that it is strange to have 23fps videos. I just hope that it won't happen again in the future. | |

There's 24p that's then converted to 23.976 for NTSC or 25 for PAL/SECAM. What in the world is 23 fps?
