Hi Chris.

If you are working with MP4 files of mixed frame rates do you go through the project and right click each clip and select Create New Frame Table for each clip?

Hey Ray.

No, I usually just have my frame rate set in my cameras to match, and then import. This project though, I used a few animations from pixabay, which had variable rates. Magix always prompts me to adjust these on import if they're different, and I'm wondering if that's where the issue was. Curious why the cut/paste fixed it.

I've never worked with frame tables, but I'm guessing there is a probably a good section in the manual to check out for an issue like this?

@Chris-Kuhn

Mixing file types from different sources not only may mean different frame rates but different GOP structures. That tells MEP how many of each type of frame is in use in what order. MEP has to try to make sense of that and sometimes will fail joining one clip to the next at the GOP boarder between one clip and the next throwing it out of sync. Creating a new frame table for each clip sometimes helps but it is never a good idea to use variable frame rate clips in a video editor.

Look at the explanation about each file type in the manual at the end.

Hi Ray

. . . . If you are working with MP4 files of mixed frame rates do you go through the project and right click each clip and select Create New Frame Table for each clip? . . .

According to the manual, and a discussion I had with Magix several years ago, this only applies to issues with MPG files.

. . . . I used a few animations from pixabay, which had variable rates . . . .

If you mean 'variable frame rates (VFR), this is most likely the issue, MEP does not like VFR and they should be converted to constant frame rate using Handbrake or another converter that can do this.

Hi John.

Odd that the option is there for all file types then. Normally options are blanked out or just not there for some things.
