After exporting, the video of my product is sped up, leaving the audio behind. However in the editing suite this isn't the case and everything is allined corrected. I've tried changing the Frame Rate and Ratio, tried exporting into different programmes, even tried burning a disk but it still remains the same. The strange thing is that it's unique to the first half of the film, leaving the rest of it at normal speeds. I really don't understand it.

Any help would be appreciated. I use MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 14.

What format is the video being exported too?

What format is the video part that is "sped up" when imported to the project?

There could be many different variables going on, such as codec issues or incompatibility with formats, size resolutions and such.

Also, what Windows Operating System are you using with your MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 14?

Thanks for the speedy reply John.

It's being exported, primarly, to Quicktime in 25 FPS at 1080p (although I've tried various different quality settins, I don't think that's where the problem is.)

I have recently noticed that the videos playing at faster speeds are running at 30 FPS and think I may have managed to change them to 25, just waiting on another export to see if I have. I've a feeling this is where the problem is, which poses the question how do I change individual frame rates?

I'm running on Vista 2009.

The export just finished and it's had no effect.

Are these exports into a PAL format or a NTSC? I think if the original content was in PAL (25 fps) and exported as a NTSC (29.97 fps) maybe that could happen. I have to check that out to really understand.

 

I know in my world of audio that sample rate makes a huge different if you play it back in any thing with a higher or lower sample rate, it could be the frame rate does the same thing on video.

 

The only way to change frame rates without recapture is to load each clip individually and export them to the new frame rate. I think you should make sure that your project is at the correct setting, if you are in North America using a North American capture or camera, then you would need the setting to be NTSC. if you are in Europe then you need PAL but if you have a mix and match, you will have problem and that does make sense now that I think of it.

I've tried both settings and it doesn't really change anything.
I'll try doing what you suggested by re-importing and exporting to the new frame rate. But, it doesn't make sense that the files should be at a different frame rate anyway since I filmed the whole thing under the same settings.

Again thanks for the help mate.
