2.55 Rotoscope PAL

I’m using 2.55 to rotoscope. I have a movie as background, and I create an animated mask. I use the VSE to overlay the same movie. My video is HD PAL.

The movie playing in the b/g runs 6 frames slower than the original. The rendered movie shows the bg 3 frames ahead, making a mess of the rotoscope.

Has anyone experienced this ? Is there a setting for PAL vs NTSC for bg movies ? The only PAL setting I can find is in the renderer.

I’ve found the solution. Having a hi res video with non square pixels, ie 1.333:1 effects both timing and positions. Re-rendering the source video to 1:1 pixels fixes the problem.
