Video is Playing in Slow Motion

I've been using APE 11 since its release, to edit my holiday movies, and have had no previous problems with it. However, for part of the movie that I am currently editing, the video is running slowly and is out of synch with the audio. The clip in question is of considerable length - around 50 minutes - and I'm wondering whether this may be related to the problem, although another possibly relevant factor is that, unlike the rest of the movie, the clip is from a Samsung Galaxy 'phone, whereas the rest of the movie clips are from a JVC Everio and an iPhone.

 

Thanks for any advice.

Does your video use a Variable Frame Rate? See https://community.adobe.com/t5/Premiere-Pro/Variable-frame-rate-video-with-Premiere-Pro/td-p/4601935
If yes, use https://handbrake.fr/ open source transcoder/converter to convert to Constant Frame Rate

Thanks for your very helpful reply. I ran the video through Handbrake, setting it to Constant Frame Rate, and all's well now. 

 

I'd have thought that APE should have given advice on this problem in its Help items, and incorporated Constant Frame Rate into its software. Sometime it seems that I've paid a lot for APE but not had a particularly wonderful product in return.

I do not work for Adobe, but based on reading a lot of messages, Adobe SEEMS to expect video from dedicated cameras, not from cell phones that very often use VFR encoding... and the user is not given a warning when such a video is encountered, it simply doesn't work properly
