title render makes vid play fast

[Dave Farrants]

If it was my project, I’d break it down – ‘cut’ a 3 or 4 minute section out, paste it into a new sequence, add the bug, render – what happens?

yep… did that too. re-captured just a small portion again…
put it into another sequence, added the bug, rendered, plays fast.
repeated same drill except exported the small, imported it, put it in a new sequence, added the bug, rendered, plays fast. what now?
plays fine w/o render… but have to render to make a qt to make a dvd. maybe I can lay off to tape w/o rendering, re-capture and not have to render it prior to exporting. I’ll try that and see what happens. this is getting old.

You say you used ‘just the text tool” – does the problem happen if you use Boris Title 3D or Manifesto?

I’ve never used anything but the text tool in FCP, but my editor has… I’ll ask him.

SUCCESS!!! Finally figured out what’s been going on with my FCP. some how the BlackMagic 59.94 ProRes capture preset changed itself to record 50 FPS instead of either 59.94 or 29.97! That’s y it would play in a 29.97 timeline, but needed to be rendered… and when rendered it would either disappear entirely, or play very quickly. I reset the preset to record 29.97 and now everything is right with the world! Amazing how one little thing can throw my whole world into a state of disarray!!! Mahalo for all the suggestions, guys… really appreciate ur help. Have some great hollandaise, ok? Aloha!!!

Finally figured this problem out, btw… even though the blackmagic capture preset was correct… 1080, 29.97… vid was actually being captured at 50fps. go figgah. even showed up in the bin as 29.97. but after blowing out media and batch capturing, the details on the batch capture window said 50fps. must have gotten corrupted somehow. anyway, re-built the pre-set to 29.97 and all is well. what a bizarre problem. big mahalo to everyone who tried to help me!
