Problem: Playback Speed Increased

Hello, i'm running Premiere Elements 15, which i bought just yesterday. I was editing a video perfectly fine last night, I updated some of my mobo drivers today and now the project I started last night will only play at about x2 speed. I can't get it to slow down to normal speed. I haven't been able to find any hotkeys that changes the speed of play back.

I have tried restarting my computer and starting a brand new project but nothing I do fixes it. I have tried playing the video in VLC and it plays just fine.

I'm running Windows 10, intel i7-2600K @ 3.40Ghz, 16GB ram, Asus mobo.

Whatever information you need me to provide in order to solve this problem I will.

    Sounds to me like an issue with variable frame rate video.

    I have almost the same problem with Elements 2019.  While editing the speed increases to about 2*the normal speed. This happens random and unpredictable.

    Everything is fine for a while after I have saved the project and restartet the PC.

    What is the source and specifications of the video footage?

    I won't be able to get a detailed answer to you until Monday but it's a 1080p 60fps MP4 video.

    For source and spec can I just get that info from looking at it in premiere?

    Most likely this video has a variable frame rate. That's how that type of video often manifests itself.

    Video with variable frame rates is often from sources other than camcorders -- this would include FRAPS, SnagIt and other screen recording apps.
