Comment 74 for bug 520941

Hi Andy

Thanks for your reply.

The issue persists...but only in this unusual scenario.

sorry for the slight diversion here...

 I don't have the most powerful machine, and it can't handle editing 1080p, so what I do is use ffmpeg to scale it down by a factor of 4 (480x270) same frame rate (ie I make a "-fast" version of each raw clip). I created a custom profile which is 480x270 29.97fps. I edit using that, then save project as the normal 1080p 29.97 profile that comes with openshot. Close openshot, use a text editor to find replace the paths of the mp4 file with the hd ones. Re-open with openshot and export using the normal HD profile. This seems to work fine..except...

now it is doing it's "transition skipping thing" when I re-open the HD project and when I export the skips are in the final mp4.

Now I thought I had found the reason: When I created my custom 480x270 profile I entered the fps as 2997/100 but the normal openshot HD profile is 30000/1001 which is more accurate I gather. So I thought..easy..I just have to change my low-res profile to match the normal HD one (ie 30000/1001). ...but no joy so far?

Any ideas?

Do some manufacturers produce 29.97fps and some 29.97002...?

Also, what actually happens when you "save project as"? From the .osp it seems just the profile line changes?

Thanks for your help
