frame jumps or duplicates when adding name super
First project editing a 23.98 project, DVCPRO HD. When dissolving on and off name supers, there appears to be a frame jump and/or duplicate frame during the dissolve, both are happening. I’m wondering if I have missed a setting somewhere or what would be causing the hiccup. Let me know if more info is needed.

Where are you seeing this jump? Through what monitor?
-
I’m seeing it in the canvas and on my NTSC Sony PVM-14N6U, I’m down converting through Kona LH. If I go frame by frame through the dissolve, the person blinks twice, same frame. If I move the transition/super down the time line,(out of the way) she blinks once, normal. If I go to source/viewer she blinks once.

Is the dissolve rendered?
-
Yes.

It’s must be a pulldown issue. Try sliding the dissolve one frame in either direction.

Tried it, no luck. It’s as if the frame before the dissolve “plays” twice, once before the dissolve and then it’s the first frame of the dissolve. Doesn’t matter which way I move the dissolve. And unfortunately, it is happening on most supers. Sometimes at the start of the super and sometimes at the end of the super.

Thanks for the reference.
The footage is from the Firestore, and I am still running 5.0.4. I was waiting to finish all projects before the crossgrade, and then with the release of FCP Studio 6, I was again going to wait.
Would upgrading fix the problem? Or make new challenges with the current projects?
Might be safer to try the “workaround for now?”

Just before dheidel posted, I remember that little anomaly.
Upgrading should fix it, but you might have to reimport the footage to get rid of it.
Apple has a doc explaining what happens and how to fix it.

Unfortunately, upgrading doesn’t fix what you already have. At least with the P2s, you actually have to re-import your media from the original MXF files. Not sure if that’s any different with a Firestore drive, I’ve never used one. Even re-importing your media may do more harm than good. Because of this slight speed difference, your timecode may be off and that’s a world of headaches, it’s hard to say. Your best bet is to use the workaround for now and upgrade before you do another HVX-200 project.
