Video playing too fast

Don't know if anyone else has this problem but for some reason I was and I seemed to find a weird work around. I had an AVI, divx codec, ac3 audio that the video was playing WAY too fast but the audio was fine. Well, seems that Quicktime is getting the frame rate screwed up and when I opened it, if I immediately to to "Movie Properties" to look at the frame rate it will play fine. If I try to play it and then look at the properties it won't play right. Almost as if it has to find out what the frame rate is at the beginning. Very weird but a bit of a work around for now. Hopefully this will be fixed. It was using Perian to play it.

I have experienced a similar quirk, with several different videos, including .m4v clips that I have downloaded or created myself. The problem doesn't occur when previewing the movies in the Finder, nor when playing them in iTunes. However, if I open the files with QuickTime, the video plays faster than normal, but the soundtrack plays at the original rate! I tried your solution of opening the Movie's Properties first, and it does seem to work. Of course, this is only a workaround for now. Obviously, something needs to be tweeked in Leopard or Quicktime —most likely both— to eliminate the quirk entirely. I am very surprised by this problem because one would think that Apple's own software products would be more compatible than third-party programs! Yow...!

  • Videos play too fast on ipad - sounds like super high speed mini mouse

    We just bought the ipad and when we play videos on vimeo or youtube they play at an ultra high speed like the fps is messed up - it sounds like a record being played too fast
    Is this our ipad or a setting - we are worried because we do not see the problem listed anywhere else.
    Thanks!

    Have your rebooted/restarted your iPad? you do that by pressing the Home and power/sleep button at the same time until the slider to power off the iPad appears. Slide the slider and when screen activity stops depress the two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. When the iPad completes rebooting try again to see if that solved your problem.

  • Microsoft 2000 OS, all videos playing too fast, what to do?

    Have MS 2000 Professional OS
    All online streaming videos (like youtube) playing too fast, extremely annoying rushing "chipmunk" effect.

    Word is getting around on the internet that Apple has basically stopped monitoring and moderating these forums. Expect to see this sort of thing increasing. If Apple isn't going to keep a lid on trolling like this then they had better just shut the forums down. It won't take long for these forums to be totally overrun by Mac bashers, trolls, and Windows fanboys. There's something about the Mac that scares them and makes them feel insecure.

  • Drop zone video playing too fast

    I am building a Motion title sequence with a drop zone for video. I placed it into FCPx as a connected clip (purple timeline box), and associated the video under it to the drop zone. It all works except the video dropped in plays super fast, far out of sync with the audio below. Not sure why.
    My FCPX timline, source footage and motion file are all the same frame rate, 23.98. Any ideas?

    Where can you place a marker en set the project loop end. Because can place a marker and then go to edith marker. But i see no list as above?
    1. Deselect any objects in the Timeline. Select Mark/Markers/Add Marker. If that menu item is not available, make sure there are not layers selected in the Layers window.
    2. A timeline marker will be created at the playhead. When the playhead is on that marker, the Edit Marker menu item will become available.
    3. Select Mark/Markers/Edit Marker. This brings up the dialogue where you can Name, Comment and select the marker type. Choose Project End Loop from the Type menu, then click OK.
    4. Drag the Marker to the end of the timeline.
    Adrie, I have not encountered your problem with freezing drop zones. In the past I have had many drop zones playing simultaneously, so it should work. If you suspect that you have a bad install, you should probably reinstall it before troubleshooting any further to eliminate that possibility. I am running a fresh install of 5 on a system that has never had 4 on it.
    Where did you find that tutorial? do you have a link.

  • AVI file video plays too fast, but audio and noted length correct

    I have a one minute AVI file. Premiere correctly says the frame rate is 29.97 and it is 60 seconds long. But when placed in the time line the video plays at about 6x speed and is finished in 10 seconds. The audio keeps playing for the correct 60 seconds. I rendered it and no change. Any ideas?
    Thanks - Bruce

    Does Streamclip allow you to choose between Type 1 and Type 2 DV AVI? If so then you want Type 2 in your conversions.
    Cheers

  • Exporting for DVD - exported video plays too fast

    Hello helpful people!
    I'm fairly new to Premiere - but familiar with Final Cut. Using Adobe Premiere Pro CC v8.1 on a MAC.  I have a video that was shot in 1080p, and I picked sequence settings to match (or so I think).
    The video looks great in Premiere, and I need to create DVDs to send to the UK (I'm American), and they will have to be able to play in a standard dvd player over there. My understanding is that PAL would be the wiser choice for encoding. I'm trying to keep the export simple, and I've exported it multiple times using both PAL and NTSC, and while the audio files are fine - for both PAL & NTSC the video files are significantly shorter than the actual film, and plays in a sort of fast-forward effect. In Premiere, the film plays at 17 minutes, but when I open the exported .m2v files they are only playing at 14:33, - or one that I finally (somehow) got up to 15:00 minutes. That 15 minute one I got from not tweaking the settings at all - on the previous ones, I had read somewhere to increase the bit rate and use VBR Pass 2 for better results. However 2 minutes off is still a big problem.
    Below are screenshots of the sequence settings, and the most basic export settings I've used - example of the NTSC.
    Any help is hugely appreciated! Thanks

    I personally consider QuickTime the bane of video production whose use needs to vanish from the landscape quickly and permanently.  Give VLC a try instead.
    VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!
    I say just go ahead and author the disk.  Chances are good it'll work correctly.

  • Plug in videos playing too fast in Safari

    Whether it's youtube, the Fan vids on the Comcast page, or Quicktime videos, they are all playing twice as fast as they should be, with chipmonk sound to go with it... please help.

    Hello,
    Go to your System Preferences/QuickTime/Streaming. Where it says: Streaming Speed click:
    Automatic.
    See if that helps...

  • Audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

    audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

    While I don't listen to audiobooks on myh iPad, the following might apply in your case:
    When you navigate to the player controls in the iPod app, in older OS's, and perhaps still in the Music app in iOS 5, you will see a variable speed control on the right hand side of the scrubber bar. Sequential taps on that change the speeds.
    This does appear in spoken content only, I think, as I see it in podcasts all the time. It's not there for video or music content, so I'd expect it to appear for Audiobooks as well.

  • How can I fix corrupted audiobooks category--plays too fast and is gravelly?

    How can I fix corrupted audiobooks category--plays too fast and is gravelly? Other music categories are unaffected..

    On the audio book (and podcast) playing screen there is a playback speed selector. It is the box on the right hand side of the screen right below the scrubber bar. It say either 1/2X, 1X or 2X, the playback speeds. Tap the box to cycle through the playback speeds.

  • My podcasts play too fast in my iphone

    I did not had a problem before but now with the same podcasts I use to listen to they play too fast. You can still understand them but it is not pleasant at all. Does anyone has the same problem and was able to solve it?

    It's likely you accidentally touched the button that speeds up playback to 1.5x.

  • Bounced tracks play too fast in iTunes

    This is a continuation of an old thread that was never resolved:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=853393
    Basically, nothing has changed. I can bounce my tracks from Logic, and they play fine everywhere except iTunes, where they play too fast. I can play them on my iPod in the car and everything works at normal speed.
    All my iTunes tracks (including the ones bounced from Logic) share the following characteristics:
    192 kbps
    44.1 kHz
    Profile: Low Complexity
    However, the Logic tracks play fast, whereas everything else plays normally.
    I have a standard G5 sound card, not a 3rd party one.
    I'm about to conclude that this is a standard limitation with Logic, that tracks created there cannot be listened to at regular speed in iTunes. Is that a known issue? Is this limitation by design?

    Sorry for the slow reply. Yes, that is the problem I'm having, and it's so weird, I thought maybe there was some wacky glitch in the program. Logic is not without its bizarre idiosyncrasies, as you've probably noticed yourself.
    Check this out for bizarre: I've bounced these tunes down to my iPod, where I can listen to them over headphones, in my car, etc, with the tracks playing at the right speed. However, if I plug that same ipod into my home stereo in the living room (where the laptop is also plugged in), and play those same tracks, they play too fast. I know, it doesn't make sense. But I'm not imagining it. It's completely crazy.
    In Audio Midi Setup my audio output is set for 44.1khz.
    Anyhow, the problem is less consistent these days. That is, sometimes I can bounce a track down and it plays right. Othertimes, not. I still haven't found the common denominator to this problem, but if I discover anything, I'll post it here.

  • Music/audio plays too fast

    using a new laptop (this compaq) and installed itunes. All music/audio, whether from a CD, or itunes or the audio from a website, plays too fast. I've tried lots of things -found a page in the support section (tried all except the driver thing) -- ANY THOUGHTS?? THis is driving me crazy and can't do anything w/ my ipod except listen to what's already on there!

    You may want to check your soundcard output in QuickTime. See this post for directions on the process: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa;jsessionid=aXxb7IZbMDPmI_4E?messageID=814726&ft=y&#814726
    And this Article: iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly
    And before you do any of the above, make sure that you have all the recent Windows Updates from windowsupdate.com. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your particular sound card, and make sure you have the latest DirectX installed. Any of these could also cause this problem without QuickTime being the culprit.
