Exporting Video as Stills in DaVinci Resolve (Frame rate issue)

[Moof1904]

I have a project that involves exporting a number of drone videos as a series of still images. The drone videos were all shot with a pre-programmed route (using DroneLink), so they’re the exact same length.

Due to an oversight in the drone settings, some of the videos were shot at 24 fps and some were 30 fps. As a result, when I export the videos as stills, I unsurprisingly get 1,400 stills from the 24 fps and 1,900 stills from the 30 fps videos. The problem is that for the project I need to have 1,900 stills from each video.

I thought changing the frame rate from 24 to 30 in DaVinci Resolve would result in 1,900 segments being exported but it’s not working. I still get 1,400 stills from each video when I use the Deliver page. (I verified that the Deliver page shows the frame rate to be 30 fps.)

Any ideas what’s going on?

Lemme guess… then you're exporting THE CLIP itself and not the clip from A TIMELINE. Simply switching a 25fps clip's fps to 30fps does nothing but shorten it. Obviously. That doesn't change the amount of frames in the actual clip. You're simply playing five more of them per second!
I don't bother with archaic, track-based NLEs anymore so I could only tell you how to do it quickly and easily (and at the highest possible quality) with Final Cut Pro, sorry.

In order to export a clip from DaVinci Resolve it must be in a timeline, so I don’t think that’s the problem. Supposedly, the clip is rerendered if its frame rate is adjusted as I have done, but it doesn’t seem to be happening.

I'm also puzzled by frame rate conversion in Davinci Resolve.

Anyway, you could always use Handbrake to convert the frame rate.
