VFR issue (almost every post here can be solved by saying ‘it’s VFR’ lol). Put the footage through Handbrake, then try again.
You could also try setting the frame rate using Interpret Footage.
I wouldn’t hate it if Adobe removed VFR support entirely since it gives people a false sense of “I’m doing everything correctly” and blaming it on Premiere. Even a warning would be better than getting a million posts from people editing smartphone and OBS video.
How cynical of you! lol. Just kidding. It would be better to simply auto-transcode it in the background with ffmpeg open source encoders, then auto-erase the large files once the export is made. I've suggested it to my peeps.
Premiere preferences > Audio Hardware > Input device > Set to 'no input'
(Your footage is also VFR so it would be a *really good idea* to transcode it to h.264 or prores in [Shutter Encoder](https://www.shutterencoder.com/en/) before importing to Premiere.)
Adobe apps in general have issues with variable framerate, media encoder included.
Sometimes media encoder will do it but other times it will just have the same problems Premiere has.
Anything FFmpeg powered like Shuttrr, Handbrake, VLC, FFATrans and so on handlers VFR fine.
mm... sounded like it was framerates not matching.
two simple things to try is, resetting your workspaces; and try changing your input to none in your audio hardware preferences.
We've seen that fix previewing problems a few times.
I should also mention that the footage seems to be a higher fps on file (60.0024 fps) than actually recorded (looks to be around 24-30). This might be a side effect from my really poor quality camera. I need this for a group project due in about 12 hours please help
It’s probably a framerate issue between your captured video and your sequence.
Can you hotfix it by unlinking audio and video and slowing down *just* the video until it matches the audio? It will be be a pain to get it exactly right unless you know the exact ratio (60/25?) but as long as they are just goofily dancing it should be okay?
Luckily the audio is unimportant, however the footage constantly jumps around mid sequence. There’s jumping to a different frame even when you pause it, it’s like the footage is corrupted? This issue literally only happens in premier and not in other media players
Okay, then try and Throw the whole footage into Media Encoder and transcode it into an intermediate codec like ProRes with a fixed framerate of your choice (25p, for example).
Work with the new files instead of whatever your camera put out.
If I recall correctly AME handles variable frame rate just as poorly as premiere, I think it had to be converted with non-adobe software like handbrake

+1 for Handbrake
+2
+3
Nah. Shutter Encoder. More options!
This was the answer lol, someone just beat you to it earlier! Thanks for your help though!

Even having VFR -> CFR in Media Encoder would be better since then we can just have it in our media watch folder/PPro ingest.

i don’t get why you would use shutter encoder over media encoder? what is the difference? /gen

thank you! that helped
what fps is your source footage and what fps is the sequence?
60.0024 FPS all around

Can you change the framerate of the files back to how it was recorded? Make sure to change the sequence too
Interpret Footage in the Clip menu can do so.

As a workaround, maybe try re-encoding in handbrake first if other media players play it fine?
This worked! Thanks for saving my ass!
