Hi CubeAce

thank you for your help ,But how i can set the framerate in MEP ?

Thanks again

Top task bar. File / Settings / Movie / Movie information / Movie settings / then select the video clips reorded frame rate.

Hi

I think @CubeAce is suggesting your project Frames per second rate (fps) is set different to the fps of the recorded files from your camera. If this was the case the program would prompt you when you drag the clip to the timeline initially and warn you that the 2 did not match. For the proper display in the preview and export they should match.

I doubt this is the cause of your slow down effect. It could be weak hardware in your computer or it could be being caused by a Windows update not installing properly (remedy - go to the Windows start button and choose "Restart"), or maybe a graphics or other driver that is out of date.

How i convert MOV to MTS .because i want to import videos from my Nikon D-3100 to MEP and all these videos end with MOV and in the timeline all the videos ends MTS .

You do not need to convert .MOV files before bringing them into the project. MEP has an "Open Timeline" which means you can mix many different file types in the project. You may need to install a version of Quicktime for Windows for the MOVs to play and export though.

Hi

thank you Scenestealer for your replay , the MEP show a window when i import the videos to timeline asking to adjust and show the different in the (fps) and i press on the adjust and same thing when i play back it play like slow motion .

my computer is new and with good options and all software and programs are up to date , may be there is something cause this thing but i dont know which one .

in first time when i import the videos from my video camera and DSLR camera , MEP didn't import MOV files that's why i want to convert them and i close the program and second day it work normally.

Thanks

Did you try Windows > "Restart"? This is not the same as Shutdown then Start.

Also try resetting MEP to default settings "File menu > Settings > Reset Program settings to defaults".

Make sure in Program settings that the first tab has the "Wave driver" selected, not "Direct Sound" as this increases the load on the hardware.

Without a lot more detail about you hardware, screenshots of your Program settings and timeline content, plus Media Info detail of the video clip attributes, it would be difficult to troubleshoot further.

Have you checked both cameras are recording at the same frame rate? MEP should play your Nikon mov. files if you can play them in windows media player or QuickTime.  You do not need to convert them to another format.  As Scenestealer say's, MEP should play both of your types of files. I'm personally doubtful it's your hardware as poor hardware normally results in stuttering video playback rather than slowing down a video or it can result in a sudden shutdown of the program through it corrupting via an access violation. If you mix different frames rates within one project you are going to get the faster clips running slow or the slower clips running faster (depending on the project settings) and would have to adjust the offending clips to match the rest of the project. I don't know if using the multi-cam function would allow for different frame rates or not as I only use my Nikon DSLR for video recording at present and tend to stick to one frame rate per project unless I want a slow motion effect.

@CubeAce

If you mix different frames rates within one project you are going to get the faster clips running slow or the slower clips running faster (depending on the project settings) and would have to adjust the offending clips to match the rest of the project.

This is not correct. If you mix clips recorded with different rates set in the camera recording menu ie 24, 25, 30fps then they will playback at normal speed. MEP just removes or adds frames to the different clips to match the Project (Movie) settings and plays out in real time. Same when exporting, although the fact that clips have had frames added or subtracted when that clip differs from the project fps may lead to slightly unsmooth playback action in the export and in preview in MEP. The only way you can get a slow motion effect is if you shoot with a slow motion effect in the camera, or apply a Speed effect in MEP. I am assuming of course that @allaa-Azawi has not done this, and what he describes as "like slow motion" is in fact a stuttering or lag in the MEP preview monitor.

@allaa-Azawi

Do you still see this effect if you export the clip?

Hi

Sorry Scenestealer and Cubeace for my late replay , i was in holiday .

thank you both for all what have been written , it is really useful for me ,

by the way i import 2 different videos to MEP in time line one from my video camera (MTS) and second from my DSLR (MOV) when i playback (MTS) it play as i told like slow motion but (MOV) play normally.

When i export the clip it works normally and i didnt see any of these effect .

this is screenshot for the window open when i import the videos .

what you think about that ?

If you want both to play at the same speed with less jitter you need to press the adjust button. The frame rates are quite close so that may have been the problem. If in future you record at the same frame rates if that is possible you should not have any future problems

Hi @allaa-Azawi

Are you seeing a smooth "like slow motion" or a jerky stop frame effect on the .mts clips?

The fact that the export is fine makes me wonder that your hardware is not handling the difference in processing the clips for preview, or there is a problem with your PC,because your screenshot shows the CPU is maxed out at 95% even when the clip is (I presume?) not playing? Does the CPU load (bottom left corner) rise and fall significantly from the MOV to the mts during preview

What is the specification of your PC?

Hi Scenestealer .

Thank you for your replay and for learning me things that i didnt know it before .

Yes,it is jerky stop frame effect on the mts.clips only .but that happened in this video before it was normally

CPU load fall when i playback MOV clips and i took a screenshot for that and rise with MTS .

how i can solve the problem with the hardware ?

HP 550-300no

BIOS : A0.12

AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7,10 compute Cores 4c+6G (4 CPUs) 3,1 GHZ

RAM : 16384 MB

Directx 12 .

if you need anything else tell me .

One thing I notice in both of your screenshots is everything appears to be on the C: drive. Personally I wouldn't consider this. Running a program on the same disc you store and process your videos on is pushing huge amounts of data around on your drive, both reading and possibly writing at the same time. It could cause all sorts of bottlenecks in the system. I realise if you are editing from a laptop this could be difficult to do otherwise. What is your setup?

Hi

Did you try all of the following?

Did you try Windows > "Restart"? This is not the same as Shutdown then Start.

Also try resetting MEP to default settings "File menu > Settings > Reset Program settings to defaults".

Make sure in Program settings that the first tab has the "Wave driver" selected, not "Direct Sound" as this increases the load on the hardware.

Without a lot more detail about you hardware, screenshots of your Program settings and timeline content, plus Media Info detail of the video clip attributes, it would be difficult to troubleshoot further.

Including supplying the information in bold.

I think the specification of your CPU and integrated graphics is not ideal but you should see an improvement if you click the little "Lightning Flash" symbol (in the right bottom corner of your preview monitor) so that it turns blue. Do this after checking this button with a right click has a check mark next to "Reduce Resolution". You should then see a reduction on the CPU load indicator and smoother playback during preview.

Hi

now i resetting MEP to default as you told me , same thing nothing change and also i went to program setting and i select to Direct Sound , it been worse when i choose this option so i return to choose Wave drive .

and i mark next to Reduce Resolution also nothing happened same playback .

until now i didnt try Windows Restart , but i will try it .

really i ddint know what happened because before i make many videos nothing happened like this only when i use to import videos from GoPro 5 camera , it was same playback and i solve the problem after i mark on (use proxy file)

and it works normally .

waitting for your replay .

Have i nice day

Hi

Please do the Windows "Restart".

Hi Scenetealer .

I will do the windows ( Restart ) .

because i didnt do it before , it dosent cause lose of files or programs ?

Thanks

Hi

You may be confusing a Restart with a Restore of Windows!

Restart will not lose anything and is simply clicking the power button on the bottom left of screen and instead of choosing Shutdown, choose Restart. This action just makes sure that any Windows automatic updates or driver updates are able to complete fully.
