Marker Time Shift with 23.98 Youtube Export

I have several long videos shot/edited/exported in 23.976 that I am pushing to Youtube along with the chapter markers. What I've noticed is that both Quicktime and Youtube are reading my 23.976 export as 24p. For example my sequence is 01:55:04:21 and the exported file in QT/YT is around 01:55:11. When I reimport to PP the length is read correctly and as 23.976.

 

The biggest issue is that chapter markers and timestamps for overlays on YT are now misaligned. Any idea how to solve this in PP? I can't recall having this issue before, but it's been a while since I've uploaded to YT.

In the prefs there's an option for drop/non-drop behavior. What's your setting set to there?

Yes I've triple checked. As I said, it reads as 23.98 when I re-import it to PP. It's just the mismatch in QT and subsequently Youtube that are my issues. I'm exporting h264.

Not entirely accurate, but the point is that there is a drop/non-drop mismatch between my sequence and exports and I need to reconcile that.

Hello dave etc.,

 

What I've noticed is that both Quicktime and Youtube are reading my 23.976 export as 24p.

 

That is very odd - Quicktime should be reading and reporting 23.98fps on such an export. Have you doubled checked you are not changing the frame rate in export settings? What codec are you using for export?

24fps is a rounded up number. I don't believe that you can change this in Premiere Pro.
