Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro frame rate playback problems

    Hi there guys,

    I’m having some problems with some video footage I’m trying to edit. The footage has a 29.97 fps but Adobe Premiere interprets the footage as 24 fps. So when I try to view it in preview monitor I noticed that the audio isn’t synced anymore. I already tried the “interpret footage” method, setting the frame rate to 29.97 but unfortunately that also messes up the audio. (audio gets sped up, and still out of sync)

    I imported the same clip in After Effects (AE also interprets it as 24 fps) and used the “conform to framerate” option (set it to 29.97) and when that’s done the audio matches the video perfectly.

    The problem is that I need to be able to fix this in Premiere because I have to edit the footage. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked all over the internet but no luck so far…

    Run your file through Media Info and check what the framerate realy is.

    thanks for the tip Ann. I had already checked it with MediaInfo and the framerate is 29.97 so I guess Adobe Premiere interprets the footage wrong.

    Hello Peter,

    The only obvious solution that comes to my mind is to demux the footage and import video and audio separately.

    Thanks for the tip. I already had a workaround in which I converted the mp4 files with a third party video converter and then import them in Premiere. Not ideal but it did the job. No more delayed audio.
