  • Timecodes match – clip is way off vs Offline

    Posted by Ola Haldor voll on September 19, 2011 at 10:44 am

    Working on a TV-series, ep 3 of 10. The first two episodes went fine, just some conflicts – no big deal, just a bit tedious.

    In ep 3, I’m struggling with big bunch of clips. They’re mostly connected to the correct source media, however they have slipped many frames, seconds and minutes. They are nowhere near matching the offline.

    I’ve opened random clips in QT7, and the timecode of in-point in FCP matches in QT7. When I go to the same timecode in Resolve, it’s nothing alike.

    I checked a few clips and there’s only one TC stream. No AUX TC etc.

    Really, really weird!

    Update
    I’m also having very slow playback rate. Even though the GPU meter in upper left says 25fps and has a green bar, it’s playing like 5fps…

    All media is ProRes 422

    For now I have to use the old fashioned way. Single QT+EDL. Gotta push this job out the doors asap before it’s going to the TV-station.

    The drives are like this:

    Is it possible that either the clips are 23.98 and you’re trying to play them at 29.97, or vice versa? By your description, it sounds like a frame rate discrepancy.

    Timeline and source media is 25fps

    I wonder if this 5 MB sec shows current activity or idle ?

    Or if it is some sort multiplier amount ?

    It’s an internal RAID. iStat menu is showing each hard drive as single items, not as a RAID for some reason. And that was during load. I was playing video in Resolve.

    I took about three reboots and it went fine. I have no idea what was causing the lag really.

    this 40 megs overhead i not sure if it sufficent with sata drives.

    For me it also seems like frame rate is off a bit like in xml or edl there is some hidden option
    for media files.

    I have seen this with audio editing really many times and usually it is just drop frames option in prefs somewhere.
