Hello!
I've looked vigorously online and found people with similar problems but I have not found a conclusive answer to this question. For years, I've been using footage from my ZOOM Q3HD in Premiere Pro and it has worked fine until recently. All of a sudden, when I play videos from it in PP, the video is choppy and the audio is sped up. I think the video might be slowed down a bit as well but I can't tell. I played the files outside of Premiere Pro and it worked fine.
The video in question is a different frame rate than the sequence but I've done this for years and have never had a problem - I'm also using DSLR footage that is 20 FPS and it works fine. I opened an old project that also used footage from this device and it looks like it has the same problem as well despite working perfectly fine not too long ago.
I tried restarting my computer, reopening PP, re-importing the files, changing the sequence settings to match the footage, and modifying the "Interpret Footage" settings to match the sequence with no luck. I made sure to close every process and application that was using up memory and I adjusted the playback window to play at the lowest possible resolution.
I'm attaching some pictures of my sequence settings and the metadata of the files themselves as well as a sample video (it renders the same way it plays in preview).
Thanks!
Greg
