1 frame off while output to tape
Hi!
In FCP, when im using edit to tape, both video and
audio ends up 1 frame off on tape. Why???!
In the timeline, the material is set to exact 01:00:00.
I´m using FCP 6.0.2, QT 7.3.1 and the tape recorder
is a digibeta, sonys DVW-500P.
Anyone know why, Ill appreciate all help! -

check your playback offset in FCP’s device control tab. it should be + or – 1 frame depending on whether your offset is before or after your sync frame.

And if it is consistant, then adjust your footage in the timeline to fix the offset. If it happens 1 frame late, move your footage one frame earlier.

If you are using Decklink then make sure you have the latest drivers. I had the same error on an older driver version which fixed itself after installing latest drivers.
Also I assume you have reference video going to FCP & the digi deck.

Thanks for all the help!!!
I think I´ll begin to understand things now. But one issue
remains …
I´ve changed the value in the playback offset and in works
now but just on the first video in the timeline.
If I have two separate video clips on the timeline the other
one will end up 1 or 2 frames off?!
Have I missed anything??By the way, I use AJA kona LHe card.

Im not sure i fully understand your problem? how do you mean you have 2 separate video clips in the timeline?
We have the kona 3 card in the online and decklinks in the offlines. the kona 3 is set up with -1.5 capture offset and +1 playback offset. the black magic is 0 capture and +4 playback. these settings give us frame accurate TC on digi without adjusting anything in the FCP timeline, assuming your ETT TC settings match the sequence settings. something like a gen10 will give you genlock, however sending a looping signal back from the deck out of the component output will give you accurate timecode as well.

Same annoying problem. Can’t offset correctly in FCP because the shift is always different.
I tested out the same playout with same settings 10 times : 4 times correct start on 10:00:00:00, 5 times start on 10:00:00:01, 1 start on 09:59:59:24.
If i playout for example with the Blackmagic tool – all is correct.
I use FCP 6.0.1 on MacPro 8Core (10.4.11) with a Digibeta DVW-500P over Blackmagic Multibridge with last driver and a all-over studio sync.
No idea why!
