Question

RED/R3D Video Files Playback is Slower than the Audio

Hello,

 

the whole morning I was struggling with the same issue:

every R3D File I imported into the timeline (file properties and sequence settings screenshots attached - and yes, I know that there is a RED preset but that had the same problem) plays almost in slow motion while the audio files are still in the same speed.

That obviosuly makes syncing impossible.

 

I am sure there is a solution that has something to do with the sequence settings/frame rate but I could not figure out what exactly is causing the issue. Any help is appreciated.

 

Best,

Pascal

I now temporarily fixed it by changing the speed/duration of all clips to 125% but if anyone comes up with another idea, feel free to let me know.

    Ok, I understand what you mean by playing in different speed.  Is the out of sync constant or it changes as you move in the timeline?

    I sync it with the clapper and you can slowly watch it get more and more out of sync because the audio runs in real time while the video seems to run at something around 80% speed.

    Hi Galbatorix,

    what colour do you see in the timeline top horizontal, yellow or red? What setting do you have in the Project setting video rendering and playback? And last thought: did you try the option New Sequence from Clip on the contextual menu right click in the clip inside the Project Panel?

    Hello Chusbaker,

     

    thanks for the fast replay. 

    So the colour is yellow, meaning the files are playing without any lags.

    And I tried your suggestion and unfortunately it is still slower than real time.

     

    Best.

    Hi,

    You didnt answered this one: What setting do you have in the Project setting video rendering and playback? Try the software only option. If that doesnt work, What is your computer activity? Then I would think on a hardware issue, where is the footage stored? Computer specs?
