Sequence RT in fcp 6
My sequence RT shows “Dynamic” for Playback Video Quality and “Full” for Playback Frame Rate. I am having trouble with added frames in my Quicktime Exports and wondering if this could cause discrepancies between fcp timing and quicktime timing.

Hi Jack,
In theory there in no relation between the play-back setting and rendering.
What exactly is happening to you?

I have asked many times in many ways and I cannot seem to get the right question. The symptom is that my 23.98 (24p) sequence gains additional frames when exported as a full quality quicktime movie when viewed in quicktime. When the same movie is imported into fcp, the timing is correct. I am using the latest osx, fcp and quicktime

How many frames is your original timeline? How many frames is your export?
And while we’re at it, what are your timeline settings, where did the media originate, how did you bring it into FCP, what settings did you use for transfer or capture, and what are your export settings?

The media was captured from a Panasonic dvx100 in DV NTSC 48 kHz Advanced (2:3:3:2) Pulldown mode. The timeline is (23.976 / 24p Advanced). The export settings are simply a quicktime movie with “current” settings. The length of the timeline sequence is 28:15:23 and the length of the full quality quicktime movie is 28:16:05.

[jack fox] “The length of the timeline sequence is 28:15:23 and the length of the full quality quicktime movie is 28:16:05.”
That’s not what I asked. How many frames is each? How many frames, exactly?
Your original post said that you had extra frames, so, how many frames are we talking about?
According to your TC, you’re saying that one should be 40,703 and one should be 40,709 frames. Is this the case? Or are they both (as I suspect) 40,703. Answer that & I’ll explain everything to you in one sentence.

The sequence in fcp has 40703 frames and the sequence in quicktime begins at 86400 and ends at 127109, which makes it 40708 long. (I’m not sure why it doesn’t begin with frame one.)

Thanks that Arnie came to help you. When I heard “Pull-down” I feel happy to be in PAL-land.

How did you determine the frame count? the best way is to use the Timecode Generator in FCP.

When I add the timecode effect it counts up through all segments except one near the end when it starts over from zero.

OK, that suggests to me that something in this part of your show is corrupt. That could be messing up your output.
