1. Re: Premiere Pro and .mov files
John T Smith May 17, 2014 10:39 AM (in response to Aabh)Based on the messages I've read, trying to sync variable frame rate video with PPro is a lost cause... you must use some other program to sync and create a new file to be able to edit in PPro

2. Re: Premiere Pro and .mov files
Aabh Jun 24, 2014 4:38 AM (in response to Aabh)Thanks John! That sent me on a rabbit trail which led to the solution!
Oh... man... Adobe... please PLEASE start listening to your user base! Some of us (read: ME) pay $600 a YEAR to have these massive headaches!
So, User base: let me tell you what I've discovered: If there is a variable frame rate (As there often is with things broadcast to the web), Premiere can't handle it. You must convert it using another program (I used "Handbrake" which is a nifty free converter... be sure to click "Constant bitrate"). And then import it into Premiere.
Doing my due diligence, This actually has been a problem since CS4... I guess few people actually record their broadcasts? Or else they are good with it? Or maybe it's just Wirecast that records variable frame rates... I don't know. Either way, I had a workflow repair.
Now I'm off with ANOTHER problem, my newest project won't work in Premiere EITHER, different workflow, different camera and even a different system.. I'm thinking I need to be asking what formats should I record in so I can actually edit in Premiere? *Sigh*
