Times differ from production and edit mode

Hi,

if a look at the time line (in edit mode) on a certain time (e.g.) 5:00 minutes, and I watch at the video after production, I see a large difference in times:

the picture on the time line at 5:00 minutes appears in the production video at 5:27 minutes and

a picture at 10:00 in the edit mode appears in the production video after 10:38 minutes.

I have no transistions yet, no background music, just a first draft pictures and videos on the time line.



Can some one explain??

A few questions.

You have stated 5:00 minutes, If you're reading the Preview counter then that is 5 seconds and zero frames.

5:00.

I have placed an image (a sample jpg image) in the track, 5 seconds long. Produced it using a customised mp4 1080p profile with a 59.94fps. The resulting file is 4s 988ms long.

Please provide more information.

a) what are you producing to?

b) a screenshot of your Edit Workspace with the media in the tracks.

I cant replicate your findings.

HI Dafydd,thanks again for the reply.

a) I produced it against MPEG-2, DVD HQ 720 x 576/50i (8 Mbps).

b) I took 3 screen prints, showing the differences.


  1. the timeline at 24:21 (plus 16 frames)
    Screenshot timeline in PDIR 12

  2. 2. VLC media player: the playback of the result after rendering in MPG format. The time is synchronous with the time line.

  3. 3. WMP : same photo moment, but now displayed at 25: 22 minutes.As written in an earlier item, it is not so important, but I am just interested in the background. How is it possible.

  4. 4. I played the MPG file as well on my smart TV (that is where I discovered the differences) and there is a time difference as well.


It is not a "hot" issue for me, but I am technically interested how this is possible.

I noticed the difference for the first time when I played my draft , rendered video on my Smart TV and made some notes where to correct the result. Then I found out the mismatches...

Strange.

PS. I am not sure if I added the screenshot pictures in the correct way. Hope you can view these. I have no clue how to add these directly into this response.

To add picture here, under Attachments button

I always figured difference between Media Player and MPClassic, I thought the problem was with the Player. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3
SSD SUV400S37240G / 2-HD WD 1TB
AMD Radeon R9 270 / AOC M2470SWD
Windows 7-64 / PD16 Ultimate
