  • clips in timeline change in-point?

    Posted by Nick Szpara on May 14, 2010 at 1:48 pm

    I’ve got a strange problem in my current project where the clips I drop into the timeline are changing their in-point by several frames (15-20). For example, I bring in a clip of a boy breaking a board, but when I play back in the timeline it’s a good second before the action.
    It gets weirder when I match frame from the timeline back to the master clip, it shows me the frame I wanted- not the frame it’s actually displaying in the timeline.
    I’m running FCP 6.0.5 on a Mac Pro system with OSX 10.4.11 wih 2×2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors and 4GB of DDR-2 RAM through and AJA KONA LHe Card.
    All footage was captured though a BetaSP deck using the Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 codec at 720×486 29.97i, which is what the sequence is set to as well.
    I seem to be able to work around this by re-adjusting the clips once they’re in the timeline, but not every clip does it and I’d like to know what caused it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    UPDATE: removing a layer containing a .psd file seems to have fixed some of the frame-synch issues…. What?
