I started a new project and brought in a video clip. When I pressed the play button, the video was clear and steady, but the sound was distorted. If you remember riding your bicycle as a kid, and attaching a playing card so it would hit the metal spokes on the wheel as you rode it. That is the sound that is heard when the video plays on the editor, and it isn't on the actual clip. All other actual audio on the clip is being played back at a slower speed than it was videotaped at. People talking have lower voices and are speaking slowly.

This does not occur with all clips imported into the editor. Actually only a very small number of clips produce this effect in MEP17. I have several video cameras and some clips taken with a particular camera will work fine and others will not. I naturally assumed that there was something wrong with the clip, and perhaps there is, but it will play just fine on the computer. It is only when it is imported into MEP17 that this effect occurs. On the four clips where it does occur, these are from the same camera, and were shot on different days and using different video tapes.

They play in my Adobe Premiere editor. I'm mostly just curious as to what could be causing it.
