Exporting is moving clips on my timeline

[Immy Humes] “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. “
Which kind of stuff there is on your sequence?

Are you trying to edit h.264 from a canon or MP4 from a Flip cam???

If so, that’s a problem and you have to transcode to ProRes before editing or you will encounter issues.

Thanks to you both David and Rafael.

I’m not v. well-prepared here, cuz I’m describing an issue one of my students had the other day, and i didn’t take notes.

But I’m pretty sure the media and settings were “normal,” – i.e. captured from HVD tape, with good settings.

What I had never seen b4 is a seq that plays fine and then exports with (some but not all) slipped clips. I’ve now found a few other cases in the forum.

Seems the only solution is to export and re-import the clips?

But don’t know what would have caused it in the first place.

Thanks for yr thoughts. I will double check everything after Spring Break.
