Copied sequence from 29.97 timebase to 23.98 sequence – FCP is cutting out some frames

[Rafael Amador]

[Dave LaRonde] “It’s not so much the audio issues: it’s the VIDEO issues. Because you have two conflicting frame rates, the motion will stutter on playback.”
I agree with Dave.
As things are, FC is doing TWO (unnecessary) time-base corrections on the fly. FC is unable to do even one properly.

Greg..you cannot change the Editing Timebase on a sequence that has footage in it. You can only do it BEFORE the footage is there.

But that’s what he did. He made a 23.98 sequence, copied and pasted his 23.98 clips from the 29.97 sequence he had…boom…gaps. Those gaps appear due to the timebase difference. You need to manually repair that.

[Dave LaRonde] “It’s a hard enough lesson to fix this sort of thing one. You’ll have to do it ten times. I doubt you will EVER make this mistake again.”

I fully agree!

Thanks

Okay, one more follow up question based on this issue.

I set DVD chapter markers through all the sequences, I know the timebase is a bit off and the markers can’t copy verbatim but is there a way to get the markers and there names back into the newly formatted sequence?

[Elijah Lynn]

Alright, I figure this out and it is fairly easy. (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KfIzqvfej50J:discussions.apple.com/click.jspa%3FsearchID%3D-1%26messageID%3D11851723+any+way+to+import+markers+to+fcp&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=https://www.google.com)

1. Duplicate the sequence with the markers.
2. Open the duplicate and delete the contents but by dragging and not hitting command + a, this will preserve the markers
3. Once it is empty it will allow you to open sequence settings and change the time base
3. Copy the contents of the sequence and paste them into the empty sequence that has the markers

[Greg Baldi]

Your absolutely right.

Would it then be possible to go from 23.98 timebase to 29.97 sequence?
If so could you explain more about how you set up the markers or a link to more info on this?
My original footage is 29.97 but I must have set to 23.98 when creating my sequence.
I messed up big time! Thanks

[steve capra] “Would it then be possible to go from 23.98 timebase to 29.97 sequence?”

Nope. Same issue…gaps would appear and sync might slip.

[steve capra] “If so could you explain more about how you set up the markers or a link to more info on this?”

Sorry, can’t be done.

[steve capra] “My original footage is 29.97 but I must have set to 23.98 when creating my sequence.”

Then you need to fix it like we have suggested. Make a sequence with the proper frame rate, copy and paste into it…and then fix your edits.
