Yup, I created a new project and dropped the clip straight into a new comp. Same result. It must be the way AE is interpreting it, from the way it only shows me every other frame when I step through the timeline.

Where you able to try running it through AE yourself?

sure, here’s a clipping:

It doesn’t matter what settings I use, the result is the same. Whether I render out lossless, Sorenson or even back to h.264. The RAM preview plays at half the frame rate and rendered files do too. If I step through the timeline it only gives me every other frame.

The footage interpretation is correct and I’ve triple checked if there’s anything untoward in the render and output settings – I’m using exactly the same settings I’ve used for every job I do.

I’m baffled. The clips still play fine straight from QuickTime. If I pull in another format clip and render out with the same settings there’s no problem.

All settings are correct (I’ve been using AE for 10 years and never seen this before).

Importing and rendering out other CODECs is fine.

On a related subject, I’ve also noticed that DVD Studio Pro will not recognize h.264 clips…?
