Hi,

I am trying to change the frame rate of a clip in my timeline and when I go to clip>modify>interpret footage its greyed out. Can someone please help me to understand why this is happening.

Thanks in advance!

In Clip<Modify<Interpret Footage.

If Interpret footage is greyed out then select the audio channels from modify and from there you can go to interpret footage

I download the vlc media player then convert the video that I didn't get the "more option" button and it worked

I'm having the same problem. I used the first format of .mov and have green blinking everywhere. "more options" is greyed out and I have removed it from the timeline and tried changing formats to an mp4 and that didn't work either. 

 

This is an insane bug that Adobe needs to fix.

So there's a really dumb bug that's been around forever: "Modify" will be greyed out if you are in a search bin - but only if you are all the way into the search bin - meaning you didn't just drop down the contents of the bin from within another bin and right click on the clip that way.

 

So that's effectivly the workaround. Back out of the bin and drop down the contents from one level up.

 

This means  you can't do it from a search bin in icon view, must be in list view. So stupid. I reported this bug back on user voice years ago but it disappeared and nobody at Adobe has ever bothered to fix it. Shocker. It's the most replicatable bug you can imagine.

Hi shooternz,

It still doesnt work for me.  The footage is not in the time and it is still greyed out.  Would it be because I have the footage in folders?  Thank you for your answer.

Cool.

In  the Project bin prior inserting to the Sequence  is the general way that function works.

Please download MediaInfo Windows and post the info in treeview.

Never see this before, maybe the clip has an odd framerate to begin with.

Which Premiere build and which OS are you using.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the quick reply! Ok, I am fairly new at using the Creative Cloud but I followed various tutorials with no avail. I am using OS X Yosemite

I downloaded it but it won't allow me to open it saying its from an unidentified developer
