Does PPRO CS3 support Variable Frame Rates on P2?

If not, how is it converted to edit?
KMS

Weird, I have some VFR clips that will not import into PPRO. All other clips that are ot VFR import just fine. I get an error message from PPRO on the VFR clips saying that the file format is not supported or the file is damaged.

Audio sync issues with variable frame rates as well as .ts files

I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 and CC, in Windows 8.
I bought an AverMedia Live Gamer HD card to capture 1080p footage with, and the the videos it produces work perfectly during playback. No sync issues whatsoever. I'm saving them as MP4 at 30fps.
The problem is when I import them into Premiere Pro, the audio loses sync at certain points. After a bit of digging, I've discovered that the videos have a variable frame rate, which Premiere Pro does not support. I don't know why, considering competing products that are significantly cheaper can handle them with a problem, but oh well. The capture card can also save videos in .TS format, which produces a constant frame rate, however when I import them into Premire Pro the sync is immediately off by a second or more. I assume this is for an entirely different reason. Again, they play back normally without a problem. Upon emailing AverMedia, I was told this was Adobe's problem and there was nothing they could do about it.
What I'm wondering is if there is any sort of realistic solution to this as of now. Is there any way that Premiere can work properly with files that have a variable frame rate? If not, is this being worked on?
Or maybe there's a way to get the .TS files back in sync, that way the variable frame rate issue doesn't matter anyway.
Converting the files is not a long term solution. I'm working with hours and hours of HD video, and it would take way too much time to do this.
Manually resyncing the audio is also not a solution. Again, this would just be way too much wasted time with each project.
The only solution I see as of now is to switch to Sony Vegas until this problem is resolved in Premiere, if it ever is. I'm really hoping there is some other way, so if anyone has an idea as to how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
tl/dr:
Is there any way to get around Premiere Pro not working with variable framerates? My .TS files are also out of sync, is there any way to fix that? Without converting or manually resyncing.

>If not, is this being worked on?
Discussed many times before... never a "yes" answer to your question... tell Adobe what YOU want at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
If enough people make a request, Adobe MAY add the feature (I don't work for Adobe, so no guarantee of anything)

Why doesn't Premiere handle variable frame rate video?

Variable frame rate video comes from many places these days: phones, live streamed video recordings.
Adobe Premiere is a supposedly production level piece of software that cost a good chunk of change.
How is it 2012 and Adobe does not still have an answer to this problem? After trying to editing/convert/mux/edit variable frame rate videos for the past 5 hours I am just exhausted. No amount of conversion apps, etc have saved us and THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TOO.
We have spent thousands on Adobe software packages over the last decade, probably 10s of thousands, and the only answer I find consistently is to switch to Vegas.
Surely, SURELY someone at Adobe with real insight into the issue can help answer the question of whether users moving into different medium should find a place elsewhere in the software ecosystem...

The file I am trying to edit was recorded in a streaming application called XSplit, very popular in the game / live streaming community.
The frame rate is variable, slightly I am guessing, because the real time nature of the recording/stream. The issue is that while WMP and VLC play the file back 100% correctly, when played back inside Premiere CS6 the file drifts out of sync so at the end of a 2 hour clip, we are talking more than a full second or so.

FCP ERROR when trying to convert variable frame rate Panasonic P2

Ok, yesterday I was able to convert variable frame rate footage so it rendered out nice slo mo's via DVCPRO HD Frame rate converter in FCP 6.0.4, it worked perfect. I tried it multiple times - So I know it can be done... Today however I created the same "easy setup" in FCP I used yesterday, and it wont work?
it comes up with the error:
"An error occurred during processing, unable to conform source media FCP" is there some setting that by default switches"
has anyone heard of this happening? it seems like a program error... but I could be wrong... I haven't been able to figure it out on my own.
does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Lance,
Sounds like you have done a very thorough job of tracking down your problem and a temporary solution. Just one question. Is the footage from the HDX-900 that you say...
Lance Moody wrote:
Since some footage from the HDX-900 was shot at 60FPS for conversion to 24FPS as slo-mo, I then attempted to use the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate converter to accomplish this.
flagged in camera as being 24fps or are you just trying to convert it after the fact?

I want to step through a .mov file frame-by-frame looking at geometry of an aircraft in the video to establish the rotational speed of the propeller. This should be fairly straightforward by looking at how much the propeller moves between each frame and using the exposure time of each frame.
However the .mov file is from an iPhone 4S and looking at the details, has a variable frame rate. What I need to know is the duration that each frame is displayed for in order to do my analysis. Does anyone know how to find out this information?

Variable Frame Rate on H.264 output

I am using AE CS6 (cloud version). I am trying to render compositions to 1080p mp4. Each time the comp appears to render fine. But bringing it into my NLE crashes my NLE. I brought the media into MediaInfo (app from SourceForge that shows everything about a media clip). It says that the Frame Rate is VARIABLE Min: 60fps; Max 60.6 fps. The composition was 80 fps, and I told the renderer to keep it at 80. MediaInfo also said the duration was over 6 seconds. The composition was a little over 4 seconds. So the overall speed of the comp was incorrect. I've been in the video business for about 10 years. I understand frame rates, etc. Never heard of VARIABLE frame rates until this.
I was able to launder the media file through a freeware media format converter, and got it back into constant frame rate so I could proceed in the NLE with the project. But the time was still 6 seconds. So I had to speed up the clip in the NLE to get it back correct.
Since moving to CS6 from CS4, I decided to start using the H.264 output module. So I've just started encountering this variable frame rate problem.
So my questions... What is variable frame rate, how did I 'request' it, why is even the variable frame rate no where near the comp frame rate, and what do I do to simply get an mp4 with the 80fps that I want?
This is very reproducible for me. My comps are usually either HDTV 1920x1080 or HDV 1440x1080.
Add to Render Queue
Select DV Settings, change field order to none
Select H.264 output module
Render
Can someone explain what's going on?
Thanks.
Jerry

Where did you get that footage and what format was it originally shot in? Was it shot in slow motion or did you change the frame rate in AE? Why would you need 80fps footage unless you're going to slow it down to a normal frame rate?
Also, h.264 is not only a very lossy format, it's also a bad intermediate format. So if you're planning on editting that footage later on in an NLE, I'd suggest rendering it to something else. Premiere should work fine with h.264, but not FCP, although I think they fixed it in FCPX, but you didn't say what NLE you're using.
Second of all, the H.264 encoder is much better in Adobe Media Encoder. Check this post by Andrew Yoole:

Report
As the other guys have said, don't use AE to render using temporal codecs. Temporal codecs like H264 rely on storing partial frames based on earlier information. AE renders and encodes one frame at a time, so most of the efficiency of a codec like H264 is lost. The result is that you get much lower overall quality from an AE h.264 render than if you were to encode it externally.
Adobe Media Encoder or Quicktime 7 will encode great quality H.264 files.
Was this helpful? Yes No
As I said I'm not sure why you would need to take an 80fps piece of footage back into an NLE, but if you're trying to make that footage play back in slow motion, you're going to have to re-interpret the frame rate of the footage in After Effects to play back at standard rate. And, if you're going to use the AE Render Queue to output something for more editing, I would suggest using best settings and outputting to a production codec such as a ProRes, Animation, Uncompressed 10bit, Uncompressed 8bit or Black Magic.
Also I've never used that media info app before, but I know that when you open up quicktime and hit command I on the mac to view the inspector, the playing fps jumps around. I think this happens because the player doesn't necessarily play back the correct frame rate at all times.
This Adobe Captivate blog talks about variable frame rates in F4V files. Maybe it might help explain things.

Does the wrt350n support jumbo frames?

Does the wrt350n support jumbo frames? Maybe in an upcoming firmware? thanks in advance

"Jumbo Frames" is a basic requirement of the Gigabit Ethernet specification. What you are saying is that the WRT350N does not actually function as a gigabit device. Sure enough it connects as one but does not transfer data at its native gigabit speed.
10Mbit connections can transfer up to around 1.2Mbytes per second.
100Mbit can transfer at around 12Mbytes per second
1000Mbit/Gigabit is supposed too transfer at up to 120Mbytes per second but cannot achieve this unless jumbo frames are active.
I beleive this gives me grounds to get a refund for a mis-sold product.
So, I guess the question needs to be re-asked.
Will the firmware ever be updated to support actual Gigabit speeds ?

Why does PPro CS3 hang at File- Import?

My PPro CS3 was working fine until today. Then I tried importing a file into a new project, File->Import and pPro hangs. It does not open a file browser, it does not even close the File dropdown, it does not repaint any part of the client window. The X (Close) at the top right of the enclosing window does not push. Only the Task Manager will blow it away, and that only after about 10-15 seconds.
Here's what I've tried, all unsuccessfully:
o   Corrupt project? Blow it away and start a new one.
o   Something went sideways in the computer? Reboot.
o   Deactivate, uninstall, reinstall.
o   Backdate System Restore. This reported that I broke the licensing system, so I abandoned that and re-restored.
o   (from a FAQ on the Forum): Delete the entire Premiere Pro tree in both Documents and Settings and My Documents. Delete the entire Media Cache tree.
o   Tried the tips on the Troubleshooting page, insofar as they applied to PPro CS3.
Encore on the same machine works fine (at least File->Import presents a file browser.) My other activated copy (on another machine) works fine.
What should I try next?
OS: Win XP, SP3, all updates. No anti-virus.

Not sure if you found the answers you're looking for, but my first question would be; what exactly are you trying to import? Assuming you've tried all the standard rederick...re-installing software, corrupted files, defragging harddrives, etc., I'd be looking at the file you're trying to import. CS3 being an older product, isn't quite up to snuff with many of the newer technologies. I ran into similar issues when trying to import files from my Sony camcorder because the little Sony uses mp3 for the audio files...Premiere CS3 doesn't recognise mp3's. Likewise if you're trying to import a Quicktime format (.mov) and don't actually have Quicktime installed, that can cause problems. I suspect the same would be true if trying to import from something like one of those idiot "smart phones" (Galaxy, iPhone, etc). If this should be the case, save the files to be imported to your harddrive first then try converting the files to something a bit more conventional...an standard AVI for example. FFcoder for example will convert just about anything to just about anything else and it's freeware to boot.   THEN try importing it into Premiere...you get the idea.
If that don't do it, ya also may wish to take a look at that XP Service Pack 3...I've had problems with that on another machine. It was on my music studio's DAW so Premiere wasn't involved, but sp3 created ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS on that system...had to dump the whole install and stop the updates at sp2 in order to get everything working again (at the risk of sounding rather paranoid, I'm starting to suspect that the folks at MicroSoft are starting to hose these updates deliberately in order to force people to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 since they're discontinuing support for XP/XP64 soon).
Hope this helps!

Does the WRT310N support jumbo frames?

Greetings one and all.
Does anyone know if the WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router support jumbo frames? I have a Buffalo Linkstation Mini NAS that contains a Gigabit Ethernet card. The NAS can support jumbo frames provided the switch it's connected to has the capability.
Thanks

I did a live sesion with the tech support desk
The WRT320N does have hardware support for Jumbo Frames.
Only on the Firmware (Software Side) it's not enabled yet what can easy be done by the Linksys/Cisco development team.

Variable Frame Rate

If I have clips that were recorded at different frame rates, say 24fps and 60fps, and I put them in the same video project, how does PE11 handle this? Will it cause issues or lower the quality?

AudreyRose2012
Slow motion for your 1080p60 will be achieved in either of three ways in Expert workspace (project preset no part of this):
a. Interpret Footage. Frame Rate section of the Interpret Footage dialog. Right click file in Project Assets, select Interpret Footage, and, in Frame Rate section, dot Assume this frame rate, and type in your wanted frame rate)
b. Time Stretch. Set Duration for less than 100%. This will increase the length of the video and apply a slow motion effect.
c. Time Remapping.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-elements-11/time-remapping-with-adobe-premiere-el ements-11/
Until proven otherwise, I would use the
NTSC AVCHD AVCHD 1080p60 project preset
and apply Interpret Footage to that video for which you want a slow motion effect. You could also consider Time Remapping feature with or without Frame Blend option that is built into Time Remapping.
I never use the frame rate same as source for exporting. It typically does it own thing under those circumstance and that is not always the frame rate that should have been. I would take the time to specify the frame rate in export along with all the rest of the export settings.
If you are going to upload your Expert workspace Timeline to Vimeo, I would try the settings suggested by SG...that is, Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = VimeoHD. The default there is 1280 x 720, so I would customize the setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset to give 1920 x 1080. Set the Level and Profile first, so that you can type in the 1920 x 1080 values. Then you would upload the AVCHD.mp4 file that you obtain and upload it to Vimeo at the Vimeo web site.
In the following Export Settings dialog for that export. I have the frame rate set for 59.94 progressive frames per second. Depending on your project plan, you can reset that to your preference
If you decide to upload your Expert workspace Timeline to Vimeo via the program's Publish+Share/Online/Vimeo with Presets = VimeoHD, you cannot change the 1280 x 720 resolution there.
Please review all comments and let SG know of your progress.
Thanks.

4K Monitor Support - Higher Frame Rate Hz

To all those geeks who are trying to get 4K support from your MacBook Pro I have done it. Using SwitchResX, Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter it works on the Seiki SE50UY04. I am powering it with a MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running 10.8.4 OS X. I have plugged the Belkin into the left side LightingBolt outlet. I am running the Seiki monitor at 3480x2160 @14Hz. Images are fine. Screen a little slow, but usable. Have run a number of 4K videos using Quicktime7 and FlipPlayer and DIVx. FlipPlayer was not as good.
FYI. The Best Buy rocketfish Thunderbolt/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter did NOT work. Nor did the right sided HDMI port on the MacBook.
Has anyone gotten this to work at a higher frame rate and how did they do it?

I did what you did, but with te timing from the link below.
It works with 15 Hz - wow!
Then I aranged the screens and restart again.
After this in system/monitor (standard controlfield) I can select as frequency 15 Hz AND 30 Hz.
Did it - got it! 4K at 30 Hz is what my seiki SE39UY04 is telling and what I can see.
For info: My miniDispayport to HDMI is Club3D CAC1153 (active one HDMI1.4)!
God luck

See I knew it! Why can't they make the 30fps at 640*480, thanks guys. Is 5 fps a noticable difference, or what?

Does PPro CS6 support PNY K6000?

I found out that PPro CS6 supports the following combination: PNY Quadro 6000 w/ Tesla C2075.
What about the Quadro K6000? Can PPro at least leverage the same performance from the K6000 as it would have from the (non-K)6000 or is it not supported at all?
If the latter, as of when will the compatibility be rolled out to end users?
