  • Exported sequence doesn’t match timeline clips!!

    Posted by Maria-luisa Meredith on February 8, 2014 at 6:12 pm

    Hi

    A very strange thing is happening where a short sequence I’ve been trying to export (to either H264 or Mpeg4) is showing slightly different parts of a couple of clips in the exported movie than are actually visible in my sequence. Some clips are also frozen in exported movie.

    When I attempted to export the very same sequence at full res (HDV 1080) it’s all as it should be.

    I’ve tried restarting FCP 7, my Mac etc.

    Anyone else experienced any thing similar? It’s a real head scratcher!

    Thanks in advance.

    Ok I’ve found some other posts that mention H264 footage possibly causing problems in amongst all my HDV 1080 footage.

    I have one short H264 clip in there so I’m now trying an export with that clip removed from timeline.

    Will post back results.

    NO! Removing H264 clip from sequence didn’t help, still experiencing above mentioned problem with export.

    If your same-settings export is fine, just convert that to h264 using QuickTime player pro or compressor.

    Thanks for the replies!

    Yes, I’ll convert via QT Pro now but still bamboozled by what FCP was doing to the export.

    Thanks again.
