Default Slow video playback

I have rendered a video with Windows .wmv but when I import it it plays at about half speed-always worked before but now it won't any suggestions?

Just a thought, but perhaps your playrate control knob/fader is not set to 1

Converting the video is a good idea. I completely recommend TEncoder, converting to the ProRes Proxy codec in a Quicktime or MKV container. You can even convert the contained audio to WAV or Flac with this by picking "none" for the video codec and WAV or Flac for the audio part. Check out the application. It's very useful.


If you have not yet done so, install Video Lan Client, i.e. VLC.

Make sure to use the Windows 64-bit version for the Reaper 64-bit Windows version. 32->32. OSX/Macos only has one version.

That should cover most of your playback needs.

Check the SOURCE PROPERTIES of the video item to make sure it is using VLC as a playback engine. CTRL/CMD+F2 is the default shortcut.

It's really weird that in the past playback was perfect, but now no matter what format I render to, it plays back at half speed!

Also if you're using FFMPEG with current Reaper have you updated to the latest 3.X FFMPEG? Reaper used to be compatible with FFMPEG 1.2 until about a year ago, but now it's 3.X. Also apparently the instructions posted somewhere said to only copy certain FFMPEG DLLs into the UserPlugins directory (rather than all the DLLs)...so maybe if you're doing that, copy all DLLs from the "BIN" folder of the FFPMEG archive into the UserPlugins folder.

If you have no idea what I said in that last paragraph, I'm guessing you're not using FFPMEG.
I have no idea-all I know is until recently my rendered videos played perfectly-I have rendered in every format imaginable and they still playback at half speed! I'm wondering if there's something in Reaper I could have accidentally ticked to cause this? I render them in Vegas then import to Reaper to help with my mix ( I like to SEE what's being played as well as HEAR)
