Exporting is moving clips on my timeline

[Walter Biscardi]

I can honestly say I have never seen this in all my years running FCP. Not really sure what’s happening on your end, but I’ve never seen this.

What format are your clips. I have seen this behaviour when people try to edit non-editable codecs in FCP…like H.264 or MPEGs.

Is this the same problem you posted last week? I have seen audio drifting slightly while mastering in much earlier versions of FCP, but not moving clips on export. For my 2 cents worth does the “Audio Rate” of your song match the audio rate of the sequence?

Try deleting all your render files and then try exporting again.

Yes. I posted on this last week. I thought that it was Compressor that was moving my clips, but it has to be FCP. The footage is from standard mini-DV tapes captured at DV NTSC 48kHz and the audio is from a CD. I know the audio is 44.1, but I export it out at 48kHz along with the vid. The audio isn’t drifting. The whole sequence is fine beginning to end with the exception of about 4 or 5 clips that show something else. The clips themselves have slipped. I can load examples somewhere if anyone is interested. I burned a DVD of how it should look with the clips moved oddly on the FCP sequence. I can rip that and post it with the example of what is coming out. Not sure that anyone would care to watch it but it can be done. I will try to trash my render files and see what happens.

Almost every time I’ve seen problems like this it has been related to media corrupted in some way. Are all the problematic clips from the same tape? You could try recapturing or you could try opening the problem clips in QT, export them same as source (in this case DV), then bring them back into FCP and see if that fixes the problem.

Hmmmm…..everything comes from the same tape. I have several Clips from the same tape instead of a single long clip, only because I had a Fat32 issue with the drive I was trying to capture to. It would only collect my footage in 9min segments. I will review my footage to see if the bad clips are part of a different clip than the others. But the footage was shot continuously without break. Thanks for everyone’s help.

Glad you posted this I am having the same problem, it looks just the way I edited it in FCP time line when I play it in the time line, but export has various cuts that are completely different from my original edit. The cuts in the export that are wrong are same length as my original cuts but not the right ones. Did you figure this out yet? Thanks.

I’m having the same problem. Has anyone found the fix to this? I’m using footage from my 5D in 1080p @24fps. Help?

[Immy Humes]

Just saw this for the first time in years of using FCP.

any thoughts anyone? i couldn’t fix it, can’t explain it. settings all seem correct. Tried exporting to .mov and several other formats, through Compressor and not, and all of them exhibit the same problem of slipping the clips.

Must be corrupt video? Very odd.
