Hi there, Does anyone have any suggestions... when I've imported a clip (thats mpeg 2 or avi) into my project Box (screen Left), & then proceed to clip then in the 'Clips onscreen-monitor'(-middle), the clips play lovely in this screen/box. However when I insert the clip into the Timeline (-bottom of screen) & then review the timeline sequence in the Playback screen(sequence 01 Right screen)it plays choppy, the sound is fine, however the sequence appears to drop frames etc. This make it differcult to see weather I have aligned the audio with the images, such as in lip-sinc. Do I need to Check or uncheck a command? Any suggestions greatly appreceiated! My pc's graphics card is a Connect3D Radeon 9800/X800 -if this makes any difference? Thanks Susie

Check this out.

Sorry-that post wasn't very helpful. I think you need to look for some good video conversion software so that you aren't using mpeg with premier pro(at least when trying to lip-sync). Imtoo is good or you could look for a freeware one if you want to gamble on the results.

Thank You very much for your help. I shall look into Imtoo to consider video conversion software. Cheers! All the best! Susan
