Go to Settings > Camera, tap either Record Video or Record Slow-mo, and select your preferred resolution from the listed option

NOTE: Your phone is likely shooting at a different frame rate. Some phones shoot at traditional frame rates (24fps, 30fps, 60fps), while some shoot at variable frame rates (to assist with exposure).

This workflow will ensure that all of your footage is set to the same frame rate BEFORE you import into your editing software.

Recommended apps that will allow you to override the phones standard video and audio settings for advanced recording options 

General Tips for recording ALL phone footage

  • Shoot your film (preferably HORIZONTALLY, unless you want the vertical look).

ADDITIONAL NOTE: When converting this footage, Avid will create a folder called Avid MediaFiles at the root level of your hard drive. DO NOT (under any circumstances) move or rename this folder. This is where all of your converted video files will live. If you do anything to this folder all of your footage will unlink and you'll have a bad time

Copy your footage from your computer hard drive to your external hard drive. Put this footage inside the VIDEO folder under PROJECT 3.

Now open Avid Media Composer.

Set up a project (just like we did for Project 2). Follow the instructions at the bottom of this wiki for a quick refresher. NOTE: 1920x1080, 23.976fps. And make sure your project is saved within your PROJECT folder under PROJECT 3 on your hard drive.

Create some organizational bins for your Video, Audio, Titles, etc.

NOW WAIT. DON'T LINK IN YOUR FOOTAGE. DON'T BRING ANYTHING INTO THE PROJECT JUST YET.

Instead of linking footage, we will be IMPORTING. This will ensure a constant frame rate and more friendly editing workflow for you.

Navigate to FILE → INPUT → IMPORT MEDIA (pictured below).

Find your footage within your hard drive (in the VIDEO → RAW folder).

Click on the OPTIONS button at the bottom of the window and make the following changes (pictured below)… CHANGE the resolution to DNxHD 80 and change the TARGET DRIVE to your hard drive's name.

NOTE: The target drive will default to your computer's hard drive. It is VERY IMPORTANT to switch this to your hard drive, ensuring all of your media is there.

OTHER NOTE: When converting this footage, Avid will create a folder called Avid MediaFiles at the root level of your hard drive. DO NOT (under any circumstances) move or rename this folder. This is where all of your converted video files will live. If you do anything to this folder all of your footage will unlink and you'll have a bad time.

Finally, select all of your footage and then click OPEN. Avid will convert all of your footage to a constant frame rate of 23.976 and bring it directly into your project.
