After Effects 2021 Audio and frames Messed up

Question

Ok so basically im an editor for tiktok. I make tiktok edits and stuff. But when i switched to a newer version of after effects i realized That unlike 2021 when i imported a clip The frames would be good but the audio would be messed up. Ive tried evening the frames but that makes the audio normal but not the frames. And sometimes neither will work properly. please just help with this.

I am guessing that the footage is an MP4, highly compressed, probably variable frame rate, from a consumer device. The first thing you should do is select the footage in the Project Panel and then use the Filr/Interpret Footage menu and set the frame rate to the nearest standard frame rate. If the footage is 29.14 or something like that, set it to 29.976. If it is 23.194 then set it to 23.976 or 24. Then double click the footage in the Project Panel to open the Footage Panel and check playback. After you have trimmed the footage you can then create a composition from the trimmed footage.

If none of that works, you'll have to open the footage in the Adobe Media Encoder and render a MOV file using something like ProRez HQ, then use the production master you rendered in After Effects.
