OK, so I got home from work and tried a few things
-
Found the “user definable frame rates” setting in preferences and set it to 50
-
made a new project, went to project setting and still no 50 fps. Also no “user defined frame rate” pick in the drop down
-
imported a video (at 50fps) - in imports but won’t display with the comment on the video track of “Project - Video frame rate Mismatch: Project 25.00 fps, Video 50.00 fps”
-
tried “Get frame rate from video” in project settings, and got a dialog box saying getting fps from video is not possible"
-
Checked Quicktime - it is there at version 7.7.4 (1680.86)
Any further suggestions?
