  • Frame rate of imported files wrong…

    Posted by Ben Wharton on September 17, 2007 at 6:39 pm

    Hi.

    I’ve been using Snapz Pro X to capture internet gamplay of one of our products at 1024×576 25 fps, and then exporting the files as DVCPro50.

    But when I import then into FCP 5.1.4 they come up as 10fps.

    Looking at the files through QuickTime Pro they appear fine – playing 25fps.

    Anyone know what’s going on? Pointers gratefully appreciated.

    I saw similar results with Snapz Pro X. I never got files to play properly without rendering or exporting them again out of QT.

    try opening in cinema tools then conform the movie to 25fps. this will take a second, as its not really doing anything except repairing the metadata that FCP is reading.

    this worked for me on some clips whose frame rate was being read wrong in FCP (but not from snapz pro)

    John –

    Thanks so much! The Cinema Tool route did the trick. Will save a lot of rendering and loss in quality.

    Pesky QT flags…
