Hi Tom,
I have managed to recapture the footage into a fresh project and it appears to be okay. However, I’m still a bit confused as to what happened before. I’m using Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 on a MacBook Pro dual 2.33 and am capturing to Lacie external drives for scratch and storage. What I meant by “jumping out of sync” is that if I loaded the clip into the viewer and parked the playhead at a position it would appear okay, when I hit play it would appear to skip ahead and the first frame of playback would not match where I had parked the playhead… I did some additional searching and found that the ratios were all correct and so I figured that perhaps my timeline or sequence was corrupt, so I opened a fresh project and recaptured the footage for a third time and this time it seems to working fine. So I can only conclude that either my original timeline or project had been corrupted and the invisible deadline demons were having me on… thanks for responding and if you can think of anything else it could have been I’d love to hear it.
regards, Crispiwan.
