Removing lag frames in a video

[EmK530]

I just recorded a video on my phone and decided to edit it on my computer, but first i would like to know how to remove lag in the video, not the timeline.

The actual game i recorded lagged so its not a problem with the program but instead of cutting lots and lots i wondered if there is an easy way to remove lag in the video.

Could you give a little more explanation of what you mean by "lag" so we can be of more help to you? Maybe you could post a short example video of what you are having a problem with?

It's like, i recorded a video and the fps on the recording is ok but its the GAME that's lagging. Not the actual video

the lag is from the phone's variable framerate which is not supported in premiere. use handbrake, click constant framerate box and type in same number fps as your source footage. set rf quality to 16 and import into premiere. should be a lot smoother.

Can you guide me on what to click? I have no clue where "handbrake" is.

The advice from chrisw44157881​ is what I would try first. Handbrake is a free program that you can download. It's a video converting software https://handbrake.fr/

If your problem is variable speed frame rates then converting it to constant framerate will will fix it.

Premiere Pro has trouble with variable framerates. Opening up the video in a different player like VLC might help you confirm this. If it plays normal in VLC but not in Premiere Pro then you have variable framerate issue. Another way to be sure would be to use a program called MediaInfo MediaInfo this will give you a bunch of info on your video including if it's constant or variable framerate.

If your problem is not the variable framerate, but something to do with the game you were recording then I don't think there's an easy fix for you.
