What file type and codec did you export for viewing on your TV?
Quicktime...H264. MOV
What are you using to play back on the TV, and what is telling you the fps is changing?
Playback via my laptop using Quicktime player. Get Info gives me the bitrate and fps.
Does the file play smoothly if re-imported into Premiere?
Havent' tried that yet.
Whatever fps setting you use on export should not vary or be altered.
I agree! I've been using the same export technique for years with FCP and no issues.
* I did bump up the bitrate to the max on the video tab. There are 2 sliders and I maxed out both. This won't be an internet file so size doesn't matter in the case.
