  • Frames off at end of project — Help!

    Posted by David Lewis on January 22, 2007 at 3:57 pm

    In preparing a DV project for broadcast, I am noticing what seems to be an extra frame at the end. The project needs to be 26:46:00, but I’m seeing that the last frame (with the green corner in the lower right corner of the frame) is at 26:45:29, and there is one frame that appears to be empty after that with a bluish-purple line striped down the right side of the frame. I have tried to trim it out and expand a clip internally in the sequence by one frame, but it just moves the end slip back one frame (do it doesn’t complete the fade-out) and I still get the extra frame with the purple stripe and no content. What is this? Is this a drop-frame, and if so, how do I solve it? Is it something I need to worry about, or will the broadcaster still be happy? please advise, I have to ship the hard drive out today. Many thanks!

    The purple stripe is only on your browser and that is FCP saying that it’s at the end of the timeline. When you watch this program out to a tv monitor (which you should be doing anyway), you won’t find that problem.
