Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot the properties of your media in tree view:

If the file is variable frame rate, which although Adobe says it will support, many users are having issues with VFR.

Use Hand brake to convert to constant frame rate:

After converting it to constant framerate (with handbrake) i have the same error ... but this time when playing it with mediaplayer too! Im going to try a few things with handbrake since it somehow worked a bit

 

EDIT: After fiddling around with it, it finally worked! Thank you so much!!!

This MP4 is video screen capture? If yes, this video is Variable Frame Rate (VFR) and you need to set it at some Constant Frame Rate (CFR). Righ clic in clip in Project panel / Modify / Interpret Footage... In this tab set it with some framerate that is ok like 29,97 fps, 30 fps, 59,94 fps, 60 fps and so on. You have to making test one by one.

Thanks for the quick response,

sadly this only speeds the video down if i turn it to 29,97fps , 30fps.

 

And yes it is a screen capture! It originally was a flv file I converted it for convenience to mp4 (It works perfectly fine if I play it back normally)
