  • The clips won’t touch each other in Premiere Pro, what do I do?

    Posted by Ryan Elder on October 19, 2018 at 4:44 am

    Basically I am editing on the timeline and the clips won’t touch. I think I figured out the problem. Basically I was editing on a 24 fps timeline, when the videos were shot in 25 fps, which was causing frames to skip. So I copied and pasted all that I edited in a new 24 fps timeline to prevent frame skipping.

    The frame skipping appears to be gone now, but now the clips won’t touch in certain sections because of it. Is there a way to fix this at all?

    You probably have to manually adjust them. Premiere doesn’t know to add the extra frame that is needed.

    Okay thanks, but Premiere will not let me manually adjust them, it just doesn’t do anything when I try to touch the frames.

    No sorry, what I mean is, is that I can’t get them too touch if I move them.

    Can you post a screenshot?

    Well what’s stopping is that I would have to do all the work all over again. Sorry I didn’t take any pics yet to show what I mean but I will.

    But all the work of doing it all over again, is what was stopping me and I thought maybe there is a quicker way.

    As for converting it during exporting, I tried that but the problem is, is that frames are taken out, when I convert it back to 25fps, since it was all edited on a 24 fps timeline.

    Okay thanks. I thought it was shot in 24 but the DP shot this one section in 25 for scene in 25 it seems. I can just re-edit in on 25 fps timeline, but can it then be put in with the rest on a 24 fps timeline? I suppose I could tell Premiere Pro to re-interpret it as 24 frames in which case I will get one frame more or slow motion every second, if that’s okay?

    Okay thanks. I tried copying and pasting it but the program still reads it as 24 fps on a new 25 fps timeline. If nothing else works I can just redo it.
