SHANE- in-point randomly changing in timeline?
I’ve got a strange problem in my current project where the clips I drop into the timeline are changing their in-point by several frames (15-20). For example, I bring in a clip of a boy breaking a board, but when I play back in the timeline it’s a good second before the action.
It gets weirder when I match frame from the timeline back to the master clip, it shows me the frame I wanted- not the frame it’s actually displaying in the timeline.
I’m running FCP 6.0.5 on a Mac Pro system with OSX 10.4.11 wih 2×2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors and 4GB of DDR-2 RAM through and AJA KONA LHe Card.
All footage was captured though a BetaSP deck using the Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 codec at 720×486 29.97i, which is what the sequence is set to as well.
I seem to be able to work around this by re-adjusting the clips once they’re in the timeline, but not every clip does it and I’d like to know what caused it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!-Nick

Why ask specifically for me? Anyone can answer this question.
This isn’t normal behavior, that’s for sure. Only this project? I’d trash prefs…

Shane’s Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn’t, or just isn’t working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: https://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm

2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.
