Video Speeds Up After Introducing After Effects Title…HELP!

[David Johnson]

Sounds like mixed frame rates are confusing FCP … are your AE renders at the same frame rate as your FCP sequences and footage?

Dave and David,

Thank you for your input.

Maybe this info will shed some light on the subject. Here are my sequence settings and clip info.

SEQUENCE SETTINGS:

Frame Size: 1440 x 1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440×1080
Field Dominance: Upper (odd)
Editing Time Base: 29.97

QUICKTIME VIDEO SETTINGS

Compressor: XDCAM EX 1080p24(35Mb/s VBR)

CLIPS INFO

Most of them are 1920 x 1080 @ 23.98 fps w/ Compressor XDCAM EX 1080p24…
The others are 1440 x 1080 @ 29.97 fps w/ Compressor HDV 1080i60…

The AE titles I created are 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 fps w/ Compressor “Animation”

Also, the Pixel Aspect Ratios vary from Square (1920) to HD 1440×1080

—————–

The strange thing about it is sometimes it plays normally and sometimes it freaks out and I hvae to revert to a saved FCP file to get it back to normal…

How does one avoid these problems when working with footage shot w/ different formats etc.?

Thanks again for your input.

Much appreciated.

Hey man. I have had this happen to. Mine happens after I render my sequence. Video speeds up to exactly 150%. You need to go under the sequence tab, and go to settings. In there there is a section under render control for frame rate. Make sure that this is at 100%!!!!

I have had this problem for almost a year now and just figured out the solution tonight. This helped me, sounds like your problem may be a tid bit different but I think this may work.
