#Handbrake VFR to CFR makes DaVinci Stutter baddly

Hello, thanks for an answer
I doubt that is reason
Same footage with same quality does not stutter at all in variable framerate (before converting it with handbrake)
It just works flawlessly (but there's issue with audio desync)
So it must be some issue with converting with handbrake?
Or maybe i can change project settings and make up for it?

Audio is not the strongest in Davinci. I usually edit without it and add it after.

Or should i just keep experimenting in handbrake and try to convert it with different codecs etc?
mossy crow
Yeah worth a shot

I understand you but it seems audio desync is caused by variable framerate
I cant just edit hours and hours of footage and fix audio desync each time
mossy crow
Yes. As your project is set to a specific frame rate.

Is there better tool i can use to convert footage from vfr to cfr?
Yeah but in this case i recreated project each time and even if it matches framerate it still causes to stutter if converted by handbrake
In a nutshell one problem is fixed but it creates another one

Unlink the audio from the original video and add it separately?

You mean add first vfr - remove audio and then add audio only from that converted cfr file?
Or just add it separatelly (both from vfr original file)
mossy crow
I would have it separate as audio isn't counted in frames. So might be having issues there.

Is there way to import only audio in davinci?
There actually is you just hold shift and it places only soundwave but isn't it still same thing?
mossy crow
Yes there is.
Convert the file into audio only.
Import that. Probably from the file that didn't have the dysnc problem.
Audio and video should always be separate.
