    FCP5, 10.4.8. Trying to set up a timeline composed of stills so set up a new project; in prefs, set duration of still to 4 secs and import them into project and they all come in as 3secs 16 frames. They’re all simple standard jpegs. tried it with various durations and they all come in short of the preset duration.
    I trashed my prefs etsc, no difference and tried the same thing in c olege on 10.4.7 and I’m getting the same anomoly, anyone got any ideas?

    You aren’t using the DIEBOLD plug-in, are you 😉

    Are you in drop frame mode?
    That might be causing it.

    I do mostly non-drop so fcp is set for that.
    stills come in at the appointed duration.

    I’ve never seen this but it seems to fit 24/30 frame ratio. Are you in a 24 frame time line?
