Having an issue, need a soltuion.

[sanderv14385781]

Hello,

I would like to have a solution to the problem I'm having with my Premiere pro cc 2017.

The problem is show in the picture, but here is the short description of it;

Whenever I add a video on the timeline, it'll show only 00:08:32:00 and so on, rather than 00:09:00:00, and I've tried everything to fix it, but nothing will do it.

Even newly recorded video such as 22 minutes and 22 seconds will show as such.

Zooming in or out will change the timecode numbers on the timeline.

Does your timecode start at zero?

newly recorded video

As in screencapture or phone footage?

Might be an issue with the (variable) framerate of the file.

[sanderv14385781]

Its not, zooming in and out will still be like that, I've never had an issue like this even when zoomed in and/or out.    

[Ann Bens]

Have you tried trashing Preferences?

[sanderv14385781]

Yeah, I've edited the whole media preferences.

And the video I talk specifically is from Dxtory, and I've never had an issue like that.    

[Ann Bens]

Convert file to constant framerate (not bitrate) and try again in a new project.

[sanderv14385781]

I'll just reinstall it and hope it works, I'm too lazy to convert the file to something else and keep doing it onward just to edit videos for YouTube.

Um ... the problem is PrPro doesn't work well with variable frame-rate media (VFR) ... no matter how many times you re-install. Converting via HandBrake is a very fast process once you get it down. Or ... use methods to create a CFR (constant-FR) media to begin with.

You'll not solve your problem with a re-install.

Like I already mentioned, I have never had an issue like this before, SO I do not think it has anything to do with "CFR"...

Look at the picture, what do you see in there? Uneven numberial things? IT supposed TO NOT LOOK like that, I'm not stupid nor retard either, so I know what I am talking about, I've been using this codec in dxtory for a year with adobe premiere pro cc 2015 and never had problem , same with 2017 before I DID AN UPDATE to it.

[R Neil Haugen]

Well, if it's only the time-code numbers displayed that's the problem ... I'm sort of puzzled. Mine do change dramatically as I zoom the timeline "in" or "out". Yours don't?

[Ann Bens]

Might want to re-install if you dont feel like converting the file.

You need to do something.

'Problem' does not go away by itself.

I assume zooming in is the confusing part here.

What happens is you use:

1. Use the \ -short cut (Zoom to Sequence)

2. Sequence > Zoom In  (a few times?)

[sanderv14385781]

It isn't about zooming in and zooming out, I've always done that and always displayed 00:01:00, 00:02:00 and so on, last time I remembered when it was like this 00:02:00 was before I updated my Premiere pro, now it just started to do this.

I'll share a screenshot once its fixed.

[Joost van der Hoeven]

When you jump to the very first frame of you sequence. What is the Timecode?

[sanderv14385781]

00:00:38   

[Ann Bens]

There is your answer: set it to zero.

[sanderv14385781]

Sounds simple enough, care to explain how would I DO THAT?

#Sigh

I've done everything and it doesn't go 00:01:00 not gonna say again and again and again..

[Ann Bens]

Restart computer

Open Premiere while holding down shift + alt.

This resets preferences and plugin cache.

In the timeline beside the name of your sequence are 3 small horizontal lines. Click on them, then click on "Start time" to insert your start time code.

What is up guys, well , I have an update;

Problem has been resolved with me testing a thing, so the issue was me using 59.94 frames per second on the video which caused this funky timeline in the premiere pro, so now I ran CS:GO with dxtory while the FPS was on proper 60 fps and recorded it, it was fine.

Honestly, I never though that the frames may have an affect when it comes to that, and it kind saddens me, since I think it shouldn't do that, but anyway, problem is solved.

So, everyone who is gonna use dxtory, then please be sure you run proper setting (60 FPS) under here;

[Ann Bens]

Glad you got it sorted but the issue was already raised in post 5.

If you say so.
