I have After Effects project file 25 fps, 29 seconds duration long. After exporting i get 725 png files - looks normal so far. But then i merge it to mp4 using Adobe Encoder, I get total 24 seconds duration instead of 29.

Math:
725 frames,  25 fps  -  29 s
725 frames,  30 fps  -  24 s

The strange thing in mp4 file properties - 25 fps and 24s duration which doesn't make sense, it doesn't match math. Please any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

EDIT:

I find out in AE Preferences > Import image sequence footage fps by default was set to 30. After changing it to 25 imported image sequence looks good.

enter image description here Unfortunately I couldn't find it in Adobe Encoder preferences - there is no such settings, and by default it loads 30fps sequence.

    Something somewhere in your chain is assuming 30fps, as your math clearly shows. Examine everything, especially the timeline specs.

Unfortunately I couldn't find it in Adobe Encoder preferences - there is no such settings, and by default it loads 30fps sequence.

You can change the default in Media Encoder by going to the Preferences/Media and then change "Indeterminate Media Timebase"
