    Hi there

    The footage I have just received plays fine, with sound, in programs such as quicktime and vlc but when I import it into premiere, the clip has 90 000 FPS. The files are H.264 mp4’s. When I try conform and export it into another format and intepret the footage into the 25 fps it shoud be the video is fine but not the sound.

    Running CS5 on a macbook pro
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    I’ve seen it happening before (don’t remember if I ever figured out why). You can modify the clip to the correct frame rate. In Windoze, it’s right-click (on the clip) -> Modify -> Interpret Footage. Should be something similar on a Mac.

    The file may use Variable Frame Rate recording which adobe for some reason or another has a hard time recognizing. You may need to re-encode it at a set frame rate(like 29.97 for American DVDs). Handbrake should do that easily, just uncheck Peak Frame Rate (VFR). Alex had a good work around but it caused the program to crash when I tried it.
