Video is in Slow Motion After Rendering

I just finished rendering a video I made, and for some reason it plays back in slow motion.  This wasn't the case before I rendered it--it was totally fine and playing at normal speed.  But when I render it the video always plays back in slow motion. The audio is normal speed, so could this just simply be a problem with the playback?  Is it that my computer can't handle the playback for some reason?  I've never come across this problem before, and it's very odd.  I hope someone can help...

Hi,

It turns out that my playback quality was set to maximum and my video was a large file so my computer had a hard time handling the playback.  I was actually just in the middle of trying to figure out how to delete this question when you replied.   Thanks for the reply, though

Hi, I am still struggling with this problem. If my composition is for example 20 seconds long, the video will render to make it a minute, Im getting so frustrated with this and its only happened recently. Please can someone help?

Yes, this is happening to me as well! I changed my playback quality to lowest and some of this clips STILL playback slow yet the audio is fine. Please help?!

Because this is a very old conversation with some digressions that may not be relevant to your situation, it might be best to start a new thread addressing your issue. Be sure to include the version of the program you're working on as well as its operating system and any specs you can offer us on your video, including the camcorder or device the video was recorded on.

First, ensure that any time you see yellow orange "render" lines along the top of your timeline you render your timeline (they'll turn green) by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard.

 

Second, as the OP said, if your computer is on the low end of the system requirements, you may need to lower quality settings of your playback.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. This does not sound ideal. If a video is playing in slow motion, either there is some effect applied to it or there shoule be changes made at the time of export.

  • Which version of Premiere Elements are you using?
  • Could you share a screenshot of the export settings that you chose?
  • Where are you checking the playback? Did you try multiple media players?
  • What happens when you import the exported file back to Elements?

Thanks,

Shivangi
