Premiere Pro cc18 media import issue
Hi
Im finding on some video files that when imported and placed on the timeline, Premiere pro is cutting off before the complete end of the file when played outside Premiere where it plays completely.Would anyone have any thought son why this might be and importantly what I can do in premiere to regain access to the whole file, which is usually a couple of seconds longer?
Is this a variable frame rate issue.
Any help much appreciatedNB Copying the original through quicktime or Mpeg streamclip and creating an h264 or mov fixes it but Id like to be able to go straight into Premiere.
Will CC19 fix it?

What is the original media source? Camera? Phone? What make/model? What is the wrapper and codec?
We can only make wild guesses without this information.
Yes, theoretically, it could be a variable frame rate issue. This is not a PPro malfunction.
System:
Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
Win 7 64-bit
32GB RAM
Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
256GB SSD system drive
4 internal media drives RAID 5
Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF. -
The files are recordings made of a webinar, so not from a camera at all.
They are mp4 H264 codec. frame rate in quicktime inspector says 29.87 (!!!!!!)

Hi Dave. No as its a client supplied recording. However if export it to anew file such as H264 then it goes into premiere ok.
Im just wanting to explore if there is anything I can do / adjust, in premiere to make these “rogue” recordings import better / fully?

I’m with Dave. Most likely it is variable frame rate and you will have to re-process the files before import into PPro. This is typical. Premiere (and many other NLE’s) do not like variable frame rate.

Handbrake will transcode your variable rate to constant rate quite well. I’d go with that to do it.
