Importing movs interpret the framerate wrong
Hi,
I just bought a new action camera, the drift HD. Before I owned the drift hd stealth. They should both produce the same video files, but with the new one, I have lots of problems getting the footage into vegas.
The old cam produces 29.97fps 1080p video, mov files. When imported into vegas, they are correctly recognized at that framerate.
The new one should produce the same files, but when imported into vegas, it displays a random framerate for each clip. Sometimes it says 32.354, sometimes, 45.829, 62.357 and so on.
Of course this creates loads of problems with blending frames etc… When I turn off frame blending, video doesn’t play back smooth as it is constantly repeating frames, or shows missing frames.
The clips play back fine in any video player though.
What could cause these problems?
With the old cam, I usually changed the extension to mp4 (for other reasons), and it was no problem. When I do this with the new clips, vegas doesn’t want to import them at all.
Vegas also says audio is 32bit float, which cannot be the case at all.
So in general, something goes wrong during import.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Still haven’t found the problem, and noticed that both after effects and premiere recognize the file correctly, which seems to be 30fps. Also gspot program says it is 30fps.

Maybe use Premiere to convert the footage into something Vegas will understand, like maybe uncompressed avi files.

Yes but that is a very big extra step… What I don’t understand is that I cannot tell vegas that the clips are 30fps. In all other packages you can simply change the file interpretation, but if you click properties of the footage in vagas you can edit everything except the frame rate.

Try opening a fresh emptey project, go to file, properties and the top right icon is the “Match media settings” Give that a shot.

That will just set the project to one of these funky framerates, which is really not the way to go 🙂 especially since each clip is recognized as a different framerate.
The issue is that vegas reads the file info wrong, so i should be able to manually enter the correct info for each clip.
