Working with AVC/H.264

[Chuck Engels]

There is a post at Elements Village,

I have recently purchased a Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 which came packaged with Premier Elements 4.

The format is as above. The video plays fast but the audio is perfect. When imported into Premiere Elements and looking at Interpret Footage it shows the clip at about 60fps. Changing it to 15fps plays the video fine but it also slows down the audio. The audio on the original clip is fine, just the video plays fast. Here is the topic

Any ideas?

Why they bundle this stuff with Premiere Elements is beyond me, don't they test the software with the video files first??

What you would have to do is duplicate the clip in the media bin, and interpret footage on the duplicate. Then take the audio from the original and take the video from the duplicate.

Thanks RJ, that was my first suggestion to him.
His response was that now the audio was shorter than the video.
I am still not quite sure of what's going on but don't want to interfere with the Elements Village resident moderator ATR.

Then maybe 60i is "29.97 NTSC" and there is nothing wrong with Premiere Elements interpretation.

[Chuck Engels]

That may be, but the video does not play well. There must be a way to fix it though.
I was thinking that it might be progressive video, that would explain the 60fps.

Remember, we are talking about AVCHD Blu-ray type video that never played well in Premiere Elements 4. This is 1920x1080i material we are talking about.

Which again makes me wonder why the would bundle Premiere Elements with that camcorder?

[RJ Johnston]

I don't think that Sony Vegas Movie Studio can even import those files. Sony would have to bundle the camcorder with Vegas Pro.
