  • Video imported in slow motion with distorted audio.

    I’m facing a really big problem.

    I edited two videos that were captured at 60fps at 1280*720. The export has always been at 25fps without any issue. I worked on Premiere CS6.

    The third video has been captured in the same way, right after the second. When I’ve imported it into premiere I saw it was playing in an extreme slow motion, with the audio all over the place going mute (or ending) at the first half of the video.

    …I can’t do nothing about it.
    Players like VLC plays it smoothly, Quicktime goes completely crazy as well, and After Effects, upon importing it, prompts the error:

    “Overflow converting ratio denominators (17 : 18)”

    I also tried to convert it using media encoder.. But even converting it at 25fps the result is the same.

    I don’t understand what’s happening.. And sadly it’s a really important file.

    Please provide some more information:

    – What audio and video codecs were used to capture the source material?
    – What frame rate is shown for the source file in the project tab (or in Properties…)?
    – Does the footage play properly on the timeline?
    – What speed is shown for the clips on the timeline using the Speed/Duration… function?

    I’ll be able to give you the complete info tomorrow’s evening, but for now I can surely tell you:

    – It’s been captured trough a Component cable, using the HD PVR 2, but the previous capture does not have any of this problems, and it’s really weird.

    – It plays in the same distorted way on the Timeline, the video is in an extremely strong slow motion, and the audio jumps all over the place, ending at the first half of the movie.

    – The movie itself seems to be 58~59.6 fps in .mp4,, but it’s exactly the same as the previous ones.

    – The time/duration shows 100%

    If the other two files are captured the same way and play fine.
    I would suggest capture the 3rd file again.

    If that could be possible, I’d already have done it for sure! That’s the problem, indeed. ;( The video can’t be re-captured, because it was a “once and forever gone” footage, even more troublesome is the thought that I DON’T know what could have been gone wrong, so that I can’t be sure if and when this will happen again, making me lose more work.

    For example: if the 3rd video gets like this, like here, I lose also the time spent for the 1st and 2nd.. It’s a really strict sequence and once filmed you can’t repeat the footage, so I this happens again at the 15th, I’ll lose all the work up to 14.
