Exported playback glitch

Need help! Exported video glitches and freezes at random parts of the playback. I am using phone camera footage, this has NOT happened on any other the projects I'm working on. I have looked up many similar questions on here and have tried multiple things. Anyone know what could be the issue. I need this fixed to be able to do my job.

Try using Handbrake to re-encode the footage. Let us know if that helps so we can narrow down the issue

I just downloaded the clips, dropped them on MediaInfo icon ... and both still show as VFR clips. Basic framerate of 29.970, with range from 28.571 to 30.0 fps.

 

Apparently, the S-E people moved the option to change to CFR from the codec options (after you choose a codec) to the Preferences settings ... the one underlined with red below:

 

After setting that option to CFR, it actually produces CFR footage.

Could you dropbox a sample clip that's doing this? Or maybe show some screengrabs?

Thanks for the response, so I did try this and I am still having the same issue. Could it be any other problem?

This is a typical issue with VFR ... variable framerate ... media. Some of the time, it doesn't happen, then occasionally, it does.

 

Best 'fix' is to convert that to CFR in say ShutterEncoder, which you can batch. Do it to all your VFR clips. Run while you're sleeping or lunch or whatever. 

 

Then this won't happen. Simply a practical suggestion. I do what works now ...
