Episode Details

Ever import phone video into an editor only to find the audio drifts out of sync? That's variable frame rate — a quirk of smartphone recording that drives editors crazy. In this episode, we break down what causes VFR, how to fix it with tools like FFmpeg and HandBrake, and whether you can force your phone to record clean footage in the first place. We also tackle the big question: is shooting RAW video on a phone actually worth the enormous file sizes and workflow headaches? For most people, the answer may surprise you.
