In the Effects Panel, if the Stopwatch is blue to the left of your Levels, click it to turn it off. That should do it. That will also delete all your keyframes btw. I assume you are referring to the Effects Panel anyways.

Are you trying to edit this off a single HDD? Be better off with a RAID that can handle faster data rates. Check out this calculator, don’t forget audio will add more data rate and there will be overhead, but you can get a rough idea of the data rate you need and compare to your HDD. https://www.digitalrebellion.com/webapps/videocalc
Also use something like BlackMagics Disk Speed Test app – you can Google it. Use that to test your actual data rate on your drive.

Have you tried turning off the GPU acceleration? Render with Software Only? Will take longer, but may have fewer errors.

I’m a little confused by your post. What is you sequence and source dimensions? And are you wanting to edit in portrait?
From what I see in the screenshot, looks like you made a sequence by dragging the IMG_1469.mov file from your bin onto the new item icon, creating a portrait sequence – that file looks to be shot in portrait. I assume that’s how you made the sequence, since the sequence matches that file name and not the file name of the source file shown. I am attaching your file with circles of what I am talking about.
At this point, I would just make a new sequence and copy/paste everything from that old one onto the new sequence. But I would use a preset or that source file as your source, and not the one that you did use.
Make sense?

I wouldn’t go through the hassle of buying a pro level TBC for your VHS. Best bet is to get a VHS with built in TBC off of Ebay. They made em back in the day – I think Sony. You’ll have better luck with that playing the tapes as well.

I would say it depends on what you are looking for. If you just want to capture some home videos, I’d say search for “capture rca video on pc” and get one of the USB devices that are like $50. If you need something a little better and more options as to what you can plug into it, and works well with PPro, go with a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle for USB – about $200. Blackmagic also has an Intensity Pro PCI card with a pigtail out the back to plug a myriad of things into it, that runs around $100.
Good Luck!

Back in the day, I don’t recall a 640x480p – it was all interlaced (lower field first). I wonder where that footage originated…
Anyhow, if your source is 640x480p, you can drag it to the “new item” icon in the lower left of the bin and that will create a sequence that matches the source. Then you should be able to export with Match Source on Export. At what point are you not getting what you need?

You may need to go to Matrox support for this one.

You shouldn’t be editing variable frame rate video. You should be transcoding it to a fixed frame rate. Preferably something the edits well like Prores or DNxHD/HR, not h264.
