time discrepancy in export
I just exported a sequence that includes footage from 3 different clips. On the editing timeline / in the viewer, the footage is cut the way I want it, but after exporting the footage, everything from clip 1 is roughly +3 seconds off. My guess is that the log/capture was somehow corrupted – does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how I might best be able to fix it? I really hope I don’t have to re-log/capture, because I’m worried I taped over the original footage. I figure I might be able to just “slip” everything from clip 1 roughly -3 seconds, but that would only work if I knew exactly by how many seconds the footage was off. Any advise on this potential workaround or any others aside from simoply re-logging/capturing?

Folks will need more info to help you out. What codec did you use when capturing the clips? What are your sequence settings? What’s your edit and export workflow? What codec did you export? It also helps to know the components of your edit system: computer, drives, etc. and the software versions you’re using.

this happened to me recently, although our offset was nothing like 3 seconds, it was 3 frames, sometimes 2.
turned out the problem was corrupted files somehow due to “capture now” from a non-controllable device.
we had a feed from a telecine going direct into FCP,
and FCP was crash recording.we found a solution.
if we exported the clips from FCP as self contained QuickTime movies, same settings, the new files would behave as expected.
i’m pretty sure we did a re-connect to the new files.hope that helps,
