Question

Exported mpeg is not the same as timeline

hi , all

whilst I can export 'same speed' edited and rendered HD footage (.MOV) with no problem, if I speed up or slow down any sections of footage in the timeline, join several together, render and export the file, the output does not match what I see in the timeline. Bits at the end of each section that I have removed , are still there and in other places, sections that I have left in ... are missing! It's leaving in or taking off several seconds' worth of footage. I can't see any pattern. The footage and project settings are the same. Very frustrating. It has to be something to do with changing the speed of the pieces of footage with which I am working. It happens whether or not I use a transition between sections. All the footage is in the same format and recorded on the same device. There are no other (apparent!) issues. I have cleared the cache.

I can't find anyone else with this problem......but hope someone has a suggestion/fix?

thankyou

    Thankyou I'll try that. Am aware there's a way of clipping bits of footage using control keys too , will try find out more about that too. All the best , Mark

    Ctrl-K cuts the selected clip(s) at the CTI.

    Is this CS6?

    First your source has an odd framerate, should not the timeline be 48 fps?

    Where do these files originate from?

    If its drone footage post a screenshot of a clip in MediaInfo in Treeview.

    Going to 25 fps might be tricky.

    Mpeg2 is not a very good choice.

    What is the end destination of the file?


    hi Ann, yes CS6, framerate set at 25fps as that's the uk 'norm' for playback. My end point is dual - I want to create something to post on youtube but also burn onto a dvd (dvd dinosaur !!). I let the project select its own framerate - the source is 'full hd'  drone footage.

    I've downloaded mediainfo and the clip shows as 48fps - you're right..... Could this be the problem - should I be specifying 48fps for the project settings?

    thankyou for the help!

    all the best, mark

    Try putting the footage in separate sequences, change the speed, and then nest them in a master sequence before applying effects and edits.
