Thanks for the response Walter 🙂

It’s definitely the same file, I’ve triple checked that and tried taking them out of FCP, restarting, putting them back in etc. I read that it’s a common problem when a video is changed from ntsc to pal that FCP misinterprets the metadata.

I’m afraid I don’t have the installation discs – it was a volume licence from my last job. But if there’s no other solution, I guess I’ll have to find me some discs!

Mmm from what I’ve read today, I’m inclined to agree. But I swear I have done it before – no conforming and it played back half speed in FCP.

Plus, why is it then that if you open the footage in Quicktime and play it back 1/2 speed, it works fine?

It’s not like I’m trying to get FCP to do something weird to the footage…just play each frame but with less of them per second. Weird!
