Video Cut Short Importing to Premiere Pro - Variable Frame Rate

I'm having an issue where a video created in an iPhone app gets cut short when I import it into Premiere Pro. Here is a video that demonstrates the issue:

Any input or advice is greatly appreciated. FYI, I am a Premier Pro novice.

Thanks

      Just a guess:

      Try transcoding with Shutter Encoder instead of Handbrake:

      The latest CC 2018 is supposed to handle VFR video correctly, but other versions do not and in that case it is recommended to first convert footage to Constant Frame Rate using an app like HandBrake, then edit that new clip.

      Thanks

      Thanks for your response, Jeff. If you watch the video, you'll see that I do that exact thing (convert to constant frame rate in Handbrake), and it makes no difference in this case.

      Thanks for your response, Ann. The file converted with Handbrake is interpreted by Premiere as 30 fps. The original file is interpreted as 20.45 fps, but when I try to interpret it as any other frame rate, all it seems to do is speed up or slow down the video, but not recover the missing portion at the end.

      It could be I'm not doing this right (again, I know very little about Premiere Pro). I went to Modify>Interpret Footage>Assume this frame rate:, and put in various other numbers for the fps.


      That is the correct way for interprete.

      I am guessing this file might not be suite for editing, it is not your regular video clip.

      What does Mediainfo say about the file before and after converting with Handbrake,
