Firestore and gap in video

We have heard about this issue…when people shoot video to the Firestore and the firestore breaks it up into chunks and how those chunks, when assembled in FCP, have 1-2 frame gaps.
Well this guy noticed that, but linked the clips in iMovie and said that in that application there were no gaps:

Can someone else verify this?

It’s all about how FCP reads the flagged frames to drop in the pulldown process. How does iMovie do it and if this guys wasn’t doing 23.98 it’s moot. I know Focus is all over a solution. I’ve had it bite me badly!

It looks like he was using the FS-4 and not the FS-100, so he was not doing HD or 24 fps footage. What is interesting to me is that even the DV footage on the FS-4 seems to have the same problems as the FS-100 HD 24fps clips in FCP HD. Not a good sign….

I just got an FS-100 and when I first dropped 720p60 footage onto a sequence I noticed the black gaps.
However, I’d inadvertently dropped it onto a standard DV-NTSC sequence.
When I created a 720p60 sequence and dropped the same imported clips onto it, the gaps disappeared and played back seamlessly.

Dean,
What do you mean “Dropped” into a sequence. Do you have some method of linking these seperated files together? I have to make individual edits and know of no short cut way to do this, do you?

Don…
I grabbed the clips and placed them into the appropriate sequence.
It was a test where I ran the camera for several minutes. The Firestore created three seperate clips just over 2 minutes long. The contents of the Firestore were copied over to a RAID and imported into Final Cut Pro.
I then selected the three clips and dropped them into the sequence timeline. They were in the proper order, butted tightly together, with no gaps.
