    I have a Proress timeline which plays fine with in FCP but when I export Quicktime one shot goes out of sync when I playback in Quicktime player the rest of timeline is fine. But if I re-import it it is fine in FCP. I have tried to recompress but it same result any surgestions gladly appreciated

    what format is the problem shot?

    maybe it’s a non-FCP standard format like H264.
    thy can be unpredictably tricky.

    if that’s the case, then export or convert that shot, and re-inert it,
    then try exporting.

    The shot in question is ProRes as is most of the sequence there are a few ProRes HQ 25fps and Pal-DV 25fps shots later in sequence but everything up to this point is full HD ProRes 25fps

    ok, this reminds me of something i had a few years ago where the file did not have a stable TC track.

    within FCP sync was fine, any export from a timeline was out.

    the solution *from memory* was to batch export the clips, (same settings, self contained)
    or maybe Media Manage them using Copy.
    sorry i can’t be more precise.

    anyway the new files had an OK TC track, and would export properly

    the problem started with a not so great “capture now” process direct from a telecine chain.

    hope that helps
