in out points change when exporting
Hiya. I’m using fcp 7.0.1. I shot some footage at 24 Advanced. I uploaded to fcp using Advanced Pulldown Removal. In case any of that is significant for this question. Editing went smoothly (I didn’t have to render the video or anything like that so I figured the timeline settings were ok). I was able to watch it in fcp without any problems.
When I go to export, it’s like the in and out points for all the clips shift – they all start a little after when they are supposed to and all end a little later than they’re supposed to. Any ideas why this would happen? I’ve tried exporting different ways, but they all result with the same error.
Thanks in advance for any help.
(I very much appreciate this site as it’s helped me with many a fcp problem, but this was one problem I couldn’t find posted already by anyone else) -

I can sum up my way of doing this in 2 words: “copy” and “paste”.
Open up reel 1, press command-a to select all, command-c to copy, go to my assembly, press command-v to paste. Repeat for each reel.

Whoops! That was supposed to be an answer to the thread below!
Daniel, you don’t say what kind of footage you’re working with and what your sequence settings are, so it’s impossible to help you.

Ah – I assumed all the clips were the same since they were all filmed at the same time, but, when looking it up to answer your post I came up with something interesting that looks like it definitely is at the root of the problem (but still not sure how to fix it)
I have four clips, 2 of them have a frame rate of 23.98 while two have a frame rate of 29.97. The sequence itself has a framerate of 23.98.
When I export it, the 23.98 clips are the ones that shift, while the 29.97 ones look fine. (Which seems like it should be the other way around since it’s the clips that match the sequence that aren’t working!)
Any ideas how to fix this problem? If not, any tips for what I should do to change the frame rate of half the clips to match the other ones that are working? I would like it if the final project ended up with the 23.98 framerate.
Thanks!

Ok, been working on this off and on all day and still far from figuring it out. Frame rates seem to be a confusing matter. But from what I’ve been reading, it sounds like fcp 7’s timeline can playback different framerates. I believe it, my project of mixed framerates plays back without a problem (it’s not until I try to export it that I see the problem).
I’ve tried exporting it as both a 29 frame rate and a 24 frame rate, but both resulted with the same error (the clip starting too late and going too long – shifted forward)
Since the 29 frame rate material outputs fine, I was trying to find a way to convert the 24 stuff to 29, hoping then it would output ok also. However, I can’t find a way to do this with my edited material. The only ways I can see would be in uploading it again or sending the original footage to a converter. But since I’ve spent some hours editing this already, it would be really nice if I could change the frame rate of some of the already edited clips. Does anyone know if this is possible?
SUMMARY: need to change frame rates of clips already in the sequence from 24 to 29
