  Help! Timecode/Duration Issues with FCP

  Posted by Stakelfarken on March 25, 2007 at 5:08 pm

  Greetings!
  I’m having an issue with a two-camera shoot and the footage thats been captured. All the clips are nearly an hour long (verified by opening in QT) but I have several clips that show up in the Final Cut bin as being undertime (for example – clip 3b shows up with a duration of 1:04;02. IN point: 22:26:26:15, OUT point 22:27:20;15). I only have a minute or so of that clip showing up in FCP, however when I open the clip into QT I have the correct amount of footage (closer to 1:00:04;02)…
  Can I just re-save these problematic clips out of QT to correct the timecode problem? If so, will it change the compression? (The footage was shot HD and imported at 780×420)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks!

  Maybe you’ve just accidently set in and out points that don’t reflect the length of the original clip. Scroll across the browser and check Media Start and Media End timecodes.
