Timing and playback speeds of frame-rates

[ajmaudio]

If you were also using some files without audio this would cause them to play fast i would think? would one just slow the playback speed for that layer down to compensate or am I missing a better solution here.

If your technical problems is the playback of a single layer with frame rate of 23.98 with audio--

you dont set the playback rate to match the movie- because it then doesnt match the screen refresh rate - which is the most important thing of all - if preserving visual integrity is the ultimate goal-


when using audio everything is non-synchronised between screens and movie-

the best thing to try to do is set the playrate to the full screen rate

try screen 1/2 div 1 or 2- approx 60Hz or 75Hz
- if and only if your system can handle it -

this speeds up the processing of all video in the system to 60 or 75Hz - and will not work if you have lots of layers-

there is a very complex technical reason to do with asynchronous frame processing - why this is the best solution- with audio-

yes it would cause them to play fast-

if you are using just video files - you use one of the frame rates that is locked to the screen

the 23.98 frame rate problem is a very specific problem - as it doesnt divide evenly into anything at all in vga/dvi world - and if you want to preserve the time length of the clip and not double up any frames -
