I am editing old 8mm film video which fps is 17 and when trying export the video to mp4 there is bug that I can't export the video with 17 fps. Only 24 fps works...
Only 17 fps works when export to avi but not when trying export mp4.
Software is "MAGIX Video deluxe 2021 Plus Steam Edition"
Are you sure you need 17fps? If you are referring to old 8mm film then Standard 8 ran at 16 fps and Super8 at 18 fps. Unless you were shooting with sound when 24 fps was often used.
@MovieEditorr MS2023 - You can set your project to 17fps, then Windows Media Export will allow 17fps export,
How your exported video will look/play I don't know, but you can then drag that back into a new 24, 25 or 30 fps project & stretch/shrink it to play at a correct looking speed, 🤷♂️
Hi,
As Eric indicated, 8mm is 16fps, S8 is 18fps.
Your project should be 24fps. Your imported objects will automatically be adjusted for 24. Export to 24fps, not 16 or 17. You want all types of playback programs to be able to play back your video, so don't use a non-standard frame rate.
What is the actual speed of the digitized file?
I use a Wolverine and it creates 20fps files.
Put one on the timeline. In Movie Edit Pro (Video Deluxe in non-English speaking countries), select the object, go to Effects, Video Effects, Speed and you'll see the Frame rate of the object. Change it to 16. The duration of the video on the timeline will be adjusted/corrected. In the same dialogue, there is "Interpolate intermediate images." You can try this to see if you get an improvement, that is, smoother playback than without it. Otherwise, the program just makes duplicate frames to make up the difference.
Then, you will have to do the normal editing, stabilization, colour correction, editing, and get and use Neat Video to get rid of video noise/graininess and dust/hairs, etc.

Maybe you can try AVI with DivX or convert to Mp4/h264 afterwards with XMEDIA Recode
On the Export screen, click Advanced and choose the Microsoft Video 1 codec. That's around 75mb per minute. That'll be good for The Tube.
Who, or what, created your digitised file at 17 fps? As has clearly been stated this fps is completely non-standard and must be different to whichever standard of 8mm film was originally used.
Why would you expect VdL to export at those non-standard fps you list? I do not consider the fact that such frame rates are not supported as being a bug, sorry.
In his reply to you @browj2 showed you exactly how to resolve the problem and create a final file whose frame rate is "standard" and thus playable on a variety of softwares.
With reference to your 3 minute AVI being 7GB, that suggests you are using an extraordinarily high bit rate! What are your export settings?

Jeff, they're probably using the default AVI codec of YUV ie uncompressed (you can't adjust the bitrate for that). That's why I suggested MS Video 1.
Hi
. . . . MAGIX doesn't even support 16, 17 or 18 fps MP4 export... . . .
It won't, 24 fps is the minimum framerate for mp4 encoded video, which is the most widely used format and acceptable to the majority of players and devices for playback - anything less is non standard and will not play on many devices/players.
I would advise you to follow @browj2's process and settings - export at 24 fps, exporting at 17 fps is not advised if you want maximum compatibility with players etc.
