  • MOV 29.97 problems

    Posted by Maria Vazquez on April 17, 2009 at 11:45 am

    Hello,

    I read some posts but didn’t find a solution for my problem. And since i have not much experience, here it goes the question.

    When I import a mov file (source: photo camara) to Premiere Pro, the timeline plays it with a slow image. The file is in 29.97 but it didn’t work in a PAL project either. I also tried to change the file to 25fps but then the audio gets slow. Do you know which could be the problem, and also, the solution. Here I let the file’s properties.

    Thank you in advance,

    FILE
    fps: 29.97
    SPEED: 3.71MBiTS/S
    FRAME: 640X480

    Audio:
    16 bit MONO
    SPEED 4HZ
    COMPRESSOR: DVi IMA

    How well does the file play in Quicktime?

    Cheers

    It plays OK. Not the best quality, because it comes from a photo camara. I think this could explain something with the formats, bot no idea. Any suggestion?
    Thank you.

    If you dislplay the movie info in the Quicktime player (Ctrl+J?) does the info match what you’re seeing in PPro?

    The 4Hz looks very suspicious.

    Cheers

    This is the information in QuickTime:

    Format: H.264, 640×480 Millions
    MS DVI, Mono, 44.100kHz

    FPS: 29.97

    640×480 pixels

    Comes from a Camara.

    Thank you.

    If the clip has 44.1kHz audio and PPro is seeing it as 4Hz, then all I can suggest is that you demux the video and audio and import them separately into PPro. If the audio is still a problem you will need to convert the audio from the “MS DVI” codec to a codec that you know (from other clips) works well in PPro.

    Cheers

    Sorry, I was wrong. Premiere Pro Recofnizes the file as follows:
    48000 HZ (32) Mono.

    But maybe the problem is the codec, as you said?

    Thabk you.

    [Maria Vazquez] “But maybe the problem is the codec, as you said?”

    At this point that is my only guess.

    Cheers
