I found the culprit. In the project I used the color bar generator. That clip was created with 25 FPS, since this was the project setting at that time.
The framerate was stored in the `.mlt` file.

After creating a new color bar clip with 30 FPS and replacing it in the project it rendered correctly with 30 FPS.
