VFR 23,976 video gets recognized as 25p

Hello everyone,

when I'm importing any video files that are 24p DV (23,976 variable framerate) it will only load as 25p in the timeline. I also have 'Allow pulldown removal when opening 24p DV' checked.

These video files are always recognized as 23,976 in any other editing software or video player except of VEGAS Pro, how can I fix this?

I'm using VEGAS Pro 15.0 Build 177,

the problem is that VFR 24p files will only be recognized as 25p:

Only video files with constant framerate will load as 23,976.

That is correct, and only one of the problems with trying to decode vfr for nonlinear editing.

Ffmpeg will remux to CFR (recommended), or Handbrake will re-encode (lossy).

@seb_bie please also note that Vegas Pro 15 has been updated seven times since build 177. See Forum, News Patches.

You can also try Happy Otter Scripts at http://tools4vegas.com

One of the tools, Import Assist, can either remux or transcode your files as suggested by Musicvid. Moreoever, you can transcode to lossless codecs such as MagicYUV or UtVideo if you are concerned with quality. If you transcode to MP4, it uses the same encoder (x264) as that used by Handbrake. You can also transcode to a high-bit MP4 using any of the asic-encoders such as Quick-Sync, NVENC, or VCE.

Wow good to know. I'm still poking around the skin for now.
