timeline longer than its assets
I noticed that when I import assets (m2v and wav) and put them on a new timeline, the timeline is about 5-15 frames longer than its assets. For example, one of my videos, the m2v and wav files are both exactly 2:26:19, but the timeline is 2:27:01. I tried importing the assets AS a timeline, and just importing assets first then making the timeline. Either way the timeline is always longer. In the project window, compare the duration of your timeline to its assets, you might see what I’m talking about.
Is there a reason for this? I’m worried about sync.

Although I’ve never noticed that before, I do see what you mean (duration in the Properties window for the timeline is longer than the assets). I highly doubt it’s going to be a problem, though. The logical explanation may be related to MPEG GOP (group of picture) segment size. For some reason Encore might be deciding that the last GOP in your video asset isn’t long enough, and is tacking on some extra frames to complete the GOP, which is usually 15-18 frames. That’s just a theory, of course. Correct or not, there shouldn’t be any issues with audio sync because of it.
