Thanks for the response..
My audio sync issues aside (that’s just because my best sync source is a hand-clap at 24p from the production crew rather than timecode synced cameras – so I’m multiclip’d via IN points with a less-than-accurate source between each camera). It’s not a severe problem.. just a pain.
Back to the “serious issue” at hand…
however this (visual smearing/interlace-looking bands & artifacts) has been happening across more than one project – whenever exported directly through Compressor from a multiclip-based sequence. I am working in v6.03.
Ever since Final Cut Studio 2 – there have been discrepancies between FCP and direct export to Compressor that have slowly been improving. This banding issue is a real fly in the ointment this time around.

I’ve only recently begun to use the multi-clip editing feature in FCP (v6). Occasionally I’ve had to collapse a cut multiclip to it’s source and use the slip tool to pull a clip back into sync with the audio on one of the cameras (and leave the one collapsed)
So far, the only footage I’ve had to work with has been with sync’d IN points against a clap. In 24p, it’s tough because the audio/connect of clapper from cam to cam will vary. So… that’s been my workaround.
A more serious issue for me has been that so far every exported-to-Compressor multiclip project has resulted in extreme interlace/streaking artifacts. Anyone else suffering the same?
I’ve had to export a lossless quicktime (PNG) movie first, then drag it into Compressor independent of FCP as a workaround.

I know this is an old thread – but for the record, I’m experience the same problem with Compressor not faithfully exporting my entire program from the FCP timeline sequence.
It’s being truncated before the slow fade to black (and music fade) is finished fading to black.
I’ve tried adding black 1 sec slug at the end, designating In and Out points at the true beginning and end – and still Compressor is screwing it up.
Methinks its a bug – or lack of intelligence on Compressor’s part. Meaning: since the timeline is NTSC 720×480 24p fps – and that is an acceptable standard for DVD specs, then there’s no excuse for Compressor’s performance.
This is certainly not the only DVD asset I’ve rendered from FCP via Compressor. It has worked fine in past iterations. (FYI, I’m using the most recent Final Cut Studio 2 version to date).
Compressor has had some other issues since FCS2’s release, some have been resolved. This one is still a problem and such a quirk is way below par.
