Clip length shortened when importing to library

[peaksjam]

I'm attempting to import a clip that runs 2:25 into the library of Video Studio 12 and, although it runs full length when viewed outside of the program, it is limited to 1:11 once I import it into the clip library. It cuts off the second half of the video. The file is a .3gpp from a mobile device and plays fine in Video Studio, it just won't load the full video for some reason.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How are you importing it?

[peaksjam]

Through Picasa from my phone to my HD. Then through the "add video to library" routine in video studio.

Do you have any idea of what format your phone uses to film video in? We need to know that in order to be able to make any sensible suggestions. At the very least, can you right click on the file you have converted inside Video Studio -- either in the library window or in the timeline -- and copy ALL its properties here please.

On the face of it, though, I would think that it could be filming in full progressive mode i.e. 50 or 60 fps, and VS cannot handle that. It can only handle interleaved video, which in effect means it ignores every second frame of your video, thus cutting it exactly in half.

If it was cutting every second frame, it would shorten the video, not cut the end of it, correct? It's actually missing the second half of the video. But only within the program. When viewed through picasa or WMP, it plays the full video. I've tried adding it other ways (drag and drop, straight into timeline), to the same result.
