Awesome Borjs,
That did it. The MASTER SETTINGS on the lower right (as you said)…someone must have changed that here…I don’t usually use MASTERING. I use EDITING.
GREAT! Now back to frame accurate editing.
Your idea of adding 10 seconds to the end so there’s a “clean out” is a good idea. I often times use slug at the tail of the sequence.
Thanks again 🙂

Thanks Arnie and Boris,

Are you sure that it’s after the end of your sequence? You don’t, perchance, have an end-pop, or some other stray frame of media hanging out there?

Yes, I am sure there is no stray frames, etc. (shift-z & when I’ve output – I’ve indicated IN and OUT marks for the sequence. The most egregious and obvious outcome of this OVERRECORDING occurs when I am insert editing amongst existing footage…and I “burn” into video and audio that is already on the tape.
ie. In point on the Master Tape is 1:00:00:00 and I have a sequence that is 20 seconds long (and there is existing material at 1:00:22:00), Well, when I make the insert edit I am expecting it to go to 1:00:20:00…but it is going to 1:00:25:00…exactly 5:00 seconds longer than I want.
This never happened with my G5 (non-Intel Mac…all the rest of the “rig” is the same).
Thanks again for any insights you all have.
