I've been trying to figure out how to make the framerate of my finished product match up to the framerate of my source video. So far, every project I've done in Premiere Elements has looked sort of blurred. I assume this is because my source is using a lower framerate than what the program intends on making it in the end. The camera I use saves the files to a SD memory card. The files are saved as .ASF, with a framerate of 15fps, at 320x240.

I've tried tinkering with the output framerate under "export," and I've used both 15fps and "keep same as source," both times the video has still looked blurred. Sound comes out great, but the images are blurring. I guess that when they'd come out as 30fps, the program was likely trying to make the framerate of the source catch up, so it would try to add in lots of extra frames. Am I right in assuming this?

Also, I'm only trying to put these files up on my website so that I can show them to my friends; not trying to get them onto a DVD, or at least not yet. I'd probably get a new camcorder that actually uses 30fps in that case.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot for any help!!
