# Converting the frame rate of your video After you know how you want to specify the relevant settings, use one of the following procedures to set up your job. For conceptual information and guidance about choosing the right values for these settings, see [Settings for frame rate conversion](working-with-video-frame-rates.md#settings-for-frame-rate-conversion). ------ #### [ Console ] To set up your transcoding job with frame rate conversion using the MediaConvert console: 1. Determine the values that you want to set for frame rate conversion. For more information, see [Settings for frame rate conversion](working-with-video-frame-rates.md#settings-for-frame-rate-conversion). 1. Set up your job inputs and outputs as described in [Tutorial: Configuring job settings](setting-up-a-job.md). 1. On the **Create job** page, in the **Job** pane on the left, choose the output that you want to use frame rate conversion with. **Tip** To find a specific encoding setting on the MediaConvert console, use your browser's search function. 1. In the **Encoding settings** section, for **Frame rate**, choose the frame rate that you want for your output. If the frame rate that you want isn't listed, choose **Custom**. Then specify your frame rate as a fraction in the fields to the right of **Frame rate**. 1. For **Framerate conversion algorithm**, choose the algorithm most suited to your content. **Framerate conversion algorithm** isn't available on the MediaConvert console until you choose your output frame rate. 1. Optional. If your output is 25 fps and you want to use **Slow PAL**, enable it. 1. Optional. If you're converting from 23.976 fps to 29.97 fps and you want to do a telecine conversion, set **Telecine** to **Hard** or **Soft**. **Telecine** isn't available on the MediaConvert console until you set your output frame rate to 29.97. ------ #### [ API, SDK, or CLI ] If you use the API, CLI, or an SDK, specify the relevant settings in your JSON job specification and then submit it programmatically with your job. For more information about submitting your job programmatically, see one of the introductory topics of the *AWS Elemental MediaConvert API Reference*: + [Getting started with AWS Elemental MediaConvert using the Amazon SDKs or the Amazon CLI](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/custom-endpoints.html) + [Getting started with AWS Elemental MediaConvert using the API](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/getting-started.html) To set up your transcoding job with frame rate conversion using the API, SDK or Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI): 1. Determine the values you want to set for frame rate conversion. For more information, see [Settings for frame rate conversion](working-with-video-frame-rates.md#settings-for-frame-rate-conversion). 1. Use the MediaConvert console to generate your JSON job specification. We recommend this approach, because the console functions as an interactive validator against the MediaConvert job schema. Follow these steps to generate your JSON job specification using the console: 1. Follow the previous procedure for the console. 1. In the **Job** pane on the left, under **Job settings**, choose **Show job JSON**. Find additional information, including where each setting belongs in the job settings structure, in the *AWS Elemental MediaConvert API Reference*. Links in this list go to information about the setting in that document: + **Frame rate control** (`framerateControl`) Use the frame rate control setting to specify whether MediaConvert uses the frame rate of your input sources or the frame rate that you specify with the `framerateNumerator` and `framerateDenominator` settings. **Note** The default behavior for this setting is to follow source. Therefore, if you keep this setting out of your JSON job specification, MediaConvert ignores any values you provide for `framerateNumerator` and `framerateDenominator`. + AV1: `[framerateControl](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-model-av1frameratecontrol)` + AVC (H.264): `[framerateControl](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-prop-h264settings-frameratecontrol)` + HEVC (H.265): `[framerateControl](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-prop-h265settings-frameratecontrol)` + MPEG-2: `[framerateControl](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-prop-mpeg2settings-frameratecontrol)` + Apple ProRes: `[framerateControl](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-prop-proressettings-frameratecontrol)` + VP8: `[framerateControl](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-prop-vp8settings-frameratecontrol)` + VP9: `[framerateControl](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/jobs.html#jobs-prop-vp9settings-frameratecontrol)` + **Frame rate** (`framerateNumerator` and `framerateDenominator`) In the MediaConvert job settings schema, frame rate is represented as a fraction, to retain precision with irrational numbers. Therefore, specify your frame rate value as `framerateNumerator` divided by `framerateDenominator`. For values for common frame rates, see the table following this list of settings.
