Mixing diferent FPS on the same timeline

Hello, I am trying to understand how to work with different FPS footage.

So I open my project which is set to 30fps and I drop there 24fps clip . I get a warning to change timeline to 24FPS so I choose to change . But then I drop in another clip in media pool which is 29.97 FPS and I don't get any other warning. Shouldn't I get a new warning each time I put a clip in media pool with a different FPS?

Also let say that you want to upload to media pool multiple clips with different FPS. You will get a warning if you want to change your project time line FPS but how does davinci decided to which FPS it should change the timeline?

Thank you for your help

From the first clip you import and you are asked for.

why not the rest of the clips? Is that done automatically?

No, because once you have imported media, you cannot change the project's frame rate.

let say that you want to upload to media pool multiple clips

Upload means to transfer from a local computer to a remote computer over a network.

You upload to YouTube.

You copy media to the hard drive.

You import clips to the Media Pool.

how does davinci decided to which FPS it should change the timeline?

Not sure, but maybe the best practice is to set the project's frame rate manually ahead of time, and then say No to the change when asked.

No, because once you have imported media, you cannot change the project's frame rate.

So my 29.97 clip that didn't get a warning gonna work fine?
It looks like some frames will be removed by davinci and will be converted to 24FPS , right?

Well, it'll work "fine" in a timeline with a matching frame rate.

It'll 'work' in any timeline, but some kind of alteration needs to occur if the timeline's frame rate doesn't match the clip's.

Thank you for your help

I just realized you have 20,000 posts. That's got to be a record . Do you work for Blackmagic design?

Nope. I just have a really small kitchen, so I eat many meals at my desk and multitask by coming here.

How did you even acquire that much knowledge about video editing in one life time is beyond my comprehension . I hope blackmagic sends you some free stuff from time to time for what you do .

Thank you for your help.

I went to school for it.

And then I earned a living doing it for two plus decades.

Seems a lot of folks these days skip the first part. I don't recommend that.
