Found the solution so I'll answer my own OP tongue

The answer for anyone else wondering about this is - AVS Video Editor

The MKVs import straight in without issue and it looks pretty feature packed for video editing to a wide range of formats with some nice advanced options. You can buy a 1 year access subscription for $39 (US$ I think) or an unlimited access subscription for $59 which from the looks of it, gives you access to download and fully utilise any of their range of products for video, audio, image converters, editors, players, etc plus other misc apps (around 16 different apps I think). You can also just download the trial of AVS Video Editor and still get full feature access to the application, you simply have to put up with a watermark that goes away after 1 minute into the video you produce with it.

Hope that helps anyone in the same predicament I was in...I mean that guide for converting to 60 FPS is great but the MKV files it leaves you with are almost useless for editing afterwards unless you have the exact right software.

Cheers,

Craig

Well now that I have my Go Pro footage interpolated back to 30fps and then muxed to add the original audio back on, it is all in MKV which plays back fine but I am pulling my hair out trying to find a way to edit it all together as MKV seems to be the bane of any video editing software from Lightworks to Windows Movie Maker 2012!

Has anyone got experience in this? I've got the final product I was after but I can't use it to make an actual video! I've even been trying to mux the MP4 I get from MeGUI with the original AVI from my Go Pro with 'AVImux GUI' and other muxing programs but everyone either doesn't work, doesn't support one of the file formats or just errors on one of them...I even used another program called 'Handbrake' to convert the end result MKV files back to MP4 and then used the Go Pro 'CineForm Studio' software to convert it back to AVI yet there's still something wrong with the file as Lightworks gives a codec not supported error and WMM 2012 just doesnt like it.

Any help would again be much appreciated! The main goal is to just use what I have now - MKV files - in a video editing application without any further mucking around.

Thanks,

Craig

Thanks Chainik, that sorted it! Tried fixing it myself before by changing that line, to removing it all together and kept getting all other kinds of errors...one simple change and it all works beautifully! big_smile Got a job running with it now, can't wait to see how it comes out...thinking I may not even have to mux to add the audio back in looking at the script.

Will let you know the end result, thanks for your assitance cool

Hey Guys,

Got MeGUI working via this guide now to interpolate my videos to a higher FPS but not that happy with the artefacts and general quality. I got a really nice setup in SVP and generated an AVS script but dumping this script straight into the MeGUI script creator and trying to use this to convert my videos is throwing up error after error...is anyone able to fix the script so it will work in MeGUI? Would be much appreciated  smile

Think I may have figured it out...at least got it working now - when I previewed the script and pressed play, it said something about some option called "Improved AVS opening" that it doesn't like and has disabled it. After this happens it then allows me to save the script, queue it and start the job. I've now disabled that option in the main window, will see what I get once the job finishes.

Furthermore, just tried "Preview AVS Script" in the script creator before click save and get an "Out of memory" error so maybe it is as you say. Should I be setting the "Setmemorymax(512)" to a higher amount in the script though, since I do have 16gb of ram but the guide mentions nothing of changing this value to suit my system?

Ok, all set to go. Just got to step 10 again, after clicking save which loads it to be encoded, the main MeGUI window greys out and it just sits there and if I click in it, I get a "This program has stopped working" message after which it promptly closes. The step before loads the video fine in the preview window which I just close and then click save as the guide says to.

Any ideas?

Just removed everything and reinstalling as per the guide now as had CineForm Studio and SVP along with everything for the guide installed and some things seemed to be conflicting. Will be a little bit before its ready to try again.

I can use CineForm to quickly covert the video files to a smaller resolution if you think in the end that is what is causing the problem.

Be back soon.

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Chainik,

Was at work before, will recreate the errors now and post up some screenshots of them. Was just hoping someone would have something else I could use that is more straight forward and I wouldn't have to use MeGUI.

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Mag79,

Thanks but MeGUI is the main program used in the guide I linked to that I am having issues with and the GDSMux page you've linked is all in Russian LOL. I've actually installed Adobe After Affects to try the below but would still appreciate help with the MeGUI guide in case AAE is no good...

http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/202/889172

to start you'll drop the 12fps footage into a 12fps comp. in this case you'll want to make the comp 2x as long as the footage. then apply timewarp and set the speed to 50% (this of course slows it down, but you'll speed it up later). this will generate new frames as it stretches out the duration of the clip.

you'll also need to extend the outpoint of the footage layer. to do that, enable time remapping for the footage layer (layer>time>time remapping) and drag the outpoint of the layer out (don't modify the keyframes for time remapping, just the outpoint).

at this point you'll want to start looking at the interpolated frames and making tweaks to setting in the timewarp effect... in particular the settings for vector detail, filtering and error threshold. for descriptions of the controls see this page:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffect … 1FB2a.html


after that, you can take that comp into a new 24fps comp that is the duration of the original footage and set time stretch to 50% so the 12fps, slow-mo comp should now be 24fps, realtime speed.

Cheers,

Craig

Hey Guys,

Just got back from a ski trip with a heap of Go Pro footage that I realised I have recorded at 4k instead of a lower resoluation which means it is all at 12fps instead of 30fps. Using SVP I am able to view all off these at pretty close to what it should have looked like if I hadn't been dumb and checked my Go Pro settings before recording but I need to be able to permanently convert these so that I can use the footage for editing and also simply giving my friends a copy.

I've tried following the guide here: http://www.spirton.com/convert-videos-to-60fps/

But I keep getting errors in the final steps and frankly it's a bit frustrating at the moment. I've actually managed to export the configuration I use in SVP (which only makes it 30fps) and added the code into the script of MeGUI but I am still stuck when trying to actually covert the video at step 10 of the guide above.

I'll post up some pics of the error messages later on tonight if people are willing to help troubleshoot but for now was just wondering if anyone has found a more straight forward way of getting the same exported result?

Cheers,

Craig
