TRT is total running time. FCP displays this and timecode for capture and for your timeline.

If you want to speed up Compressor, you can use QMaster to set up a cluster and have Compressor work from that instead of “This Computer.”
Depending on your project, you could also try other options like QT7 or MPEG Streamclip and see if one is faster than the other.

Is there a decent amount of pre-roll before the timecode that starts the capture? Sometimes if there’s too little pre-roll, it’ll keep missing it and you’ll have to do a capture now to get it going.
If you’re sure all your clips are logged properly and you’ve chosen to capture all offline clips in bin, you should try trashing your preferences, restarting, and all that good stuff.

I believe this is an AVC-Intra codec. You’d have to use Log and Transfer if you have the P2 plug-in to bring it into the project. Not sure if you need to recreate a folder structure for the file.

Also, are you getting the 1888×1062 size of your export from the Finder, QT 7, Qt 10…?

What are your sequence settings and what format is the footage?

Did you try quitting, trashing preferences, trashing renders and re-rendering, restarting, etc.?
If you export that section, does the jump happen in your quicktime?

If you mean in FCP, you can adjust the size and placement of each clip directly in your canvas when you have the wireframe on. That way you can do split screens with all the videos layered on tracks at that point in the timeline. As long as you do NOT hold down shift while adjusting the size with your wireframe, the aspect ratio will remain the same. You can also adjust your scale and center through the Basic Motion tab of your clip in the viewer.
I would recommend using cropped slugs to create the bars separating your clips so the borders are even. All of this can be accomplished in After Effects as well if you’re comfortable with that.
If you have a large number of clips to layer and render as a split screen, you may want to consider nesting that portion of the sequence or exporting and importing it separately.

The spec sheet should include contact information so I would recommend calling them with specific questions – specific dimensions and frame rate do seem important! It’s entirely possible they’re new to digital delivery as well and still working out what is ideal for them.
I’m a little surprised at the h264 since all my FTP deliveries for broadcast have been prores, but they’ve all had unique slate, black, and bars requirements so that seems normal. Good luck!

Not sure if I can be completely helpful, but I do know some web browsers (such as Safari) are color managed and some are not. If it is color managed, it will read each file’s embedded profile and convert/map to your monitor profile for true color. If it does not color manage, it applies a default profile. I’m not sure if you can somehow embed your video’s color profile to play accordingly.
