Digitized Clip shorter in FCP than Quicktime
I’ve searched for this and didn’t quite find my issue, so here goes.
I shot DV on an HDV camera, digitized through a deck over firewire. The clip in question is 3:30 on disk (reading from quicktime/leopard quicklook). In FCP it’s 2:48. Multiple reimports read the same. I copied and pasted the missing footage into a new clip (flattening clip), and it crashed halfway through playback in FCP.
any ideas?

Hey Daniel,
Just a couple of questions for clarity…
1) What was the frame rate of the clip? If you shot at 24Pa then those flags are transferred over firewire and could cause the loss.
2) What’s the sequence set to in regards of the clip?
3) Have you tried recapturing the footage? It also sounds like it could be a corrupt file since it is causing FCP to crash in playback.
I know these are remedial questions but I have to ask to better understand what you are capturing and how it is being played back. Please let me know and hopefully I can help.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
