Smooth jerky clip in adobe premiere

[perik]

I have a clip I recorded some years ago with some low light setting in my camera which caused the clip to (dont know the correct english word ) but to pulse, to be jerky in playback.

Is there some plugin in premiere that can help me to smooth the playback?

No one can guess what you have. Please post a 10-second sample from the source.

It's the "trick" of the camera to get a brighter image when it's dark. I assume it has a very tiny sensor. It uses a very long exposure time and then a long "frame" is stored as about 14 fps. So about two real frames per second stored as 30.000/1001 which is about 29.97 fps -> progressive.

Yes I guess you are right. Is it possible to fix This in Adobe premiere?

[flashandpan007]

2 fps are way too low for fixing this. But this is my opinion, maybe another one can help here, but don't expect miracles.

Its not possible to use some tool to simply remove the slow frames from the clip? Since its smoke it might not be noticed.

Any other tool to try?

Live with it. Move on. Get a better camera.

Hehe. Yes thats also an option.
But seriously. There is nothing worth trying?

If you remove the duplicate frames, but keep the same frame rate , it will playback too fast (you wont see anything)

If you remove the duplicate frames, but decrease the frame rate, it will look almost the same as what you have now (looks almost like a slideshow)

You can try to "interpolate" or synthesis new "inbetween" frames, with something like after effects /timewarp/pixel motion or twixtor but it probably wont very good, and look "blobby" like morphing

The problem is you have too few actual unique frames, real data to work with
