aspect hd works fine in the source monitor but not the playback/sequence monitor

[Tim Kolb]

This can happen if there is a media/timeline frame rate mis match.

Isn’t the media from the Canon 23.976 fps? If the sequence is set for 24 fps…that slight difference makes some leftover time values that constitute less than a frame.

Check those issues. You can go into the ‘interpret footage’ dialogue and change the media frame rate to match if that is the case.

Hi Tim and thanks for the advice. i looked at the interpreted footage

https://a83.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/60/l_68110e5e3b032738b130fed2bab643da.jpg

and thought it looked fine compared to the settings i used to capture.

is there another place to look to verify the footage frame rate to the sequence frame rate? thx

Interesting…

Now that I’ve looked at the HV20 specs…it notes 1920×1080 as the framesize and the framerate as 24p.

I wonder if this video is a different format than the other Canon HDV cameras?

what is the format of the video clips? Is the framesize actually 1440×1080 or 1920×1080?

thanks for responding Tim. when i check the footage specs thru the properties window in premiere its

1440 x 1080
23.976 fps
Uncompressed YUV 4:2:2

however when i filmed i was in 1080i 24p mode. i also see the 1920 x 1080 as a spec but dont see that option in premiere. confusing. for capturing, i picked the aspect hd 1440 x 1080 24F mode within premiere , firewired.

so now i do see it working in the sequence window after closing premiere and re-opening. (i reregistered all the components for aspect) but now, after playing with any of the clips, shortening, lengthening, it does the same thing again. it skips to the very end when i hit play in the sequence window.

i’m confused as to what is going on. any thoughts tim?

oh ya, and one thing i forgot to add is i’m running vista ultimate. dont know if that would make a difference.

[Tim Kolb]

Vista could be an issue I suppose…I don’t run it so I don’t really know.

Typically this behavior pops up when there is something on the timeline that PPro is unsure how to address…fps differences that can result in “partial frame durations” or perhaps a corrupt file.

You might try removing a file, then play back, undo and remove a different file, etc until one file seems to solve the issue after it’s gone, but cause it when it’s on the timeline…
