timecode is embedded in the media file…you cant change one without changing the other.
if you duplicate the media file itself, you can change the timecode of one of them. -
Keep in mind, if you have more than one sequence open, the undo can apply to a different sequence than you are working on….ugh.

If you are using FCP 6, you might want to check out “Working With Master Templates”, on page III-493. Its a way of using Motion Templates within FCP, so that when you make changes it updates in all instances. Have’t tried it yet, and it may not do exactly what you want, but its worth a read. Looks pretty powerful.

[Chris Poisson] “Although the time code filters don’t need rendering, it seems that they and nesting were forcing the self-contained movie”
Yes. That’s it. Although they don’t need rendering within FCP, they do need to be rendered (or baked in …as far as making a Quicktime movie.
If you are using FCS2 Compressor 3 now has a timecode filter you can apply…it will add the burn in TC during the encode. No need to do this in FCP.

I’m assuming the output from your kona/fcp system is clean…
This could be a tape tension/alignment problem with the deck….when the take up reel gets to be about 4 minutes full, the problem kicks in.

Also….be sure and check the file format of the problem music…its possible to mess up settings and create a compressed AIFF file…which would also be problematic.

Sounds like the sample rate doesnt match the sequence sample rate. Your sequence sample rate is most likely 48k….CD’s are natively at 44.1k.
The blue line area is rendered…and is probably playing fine.
The green line are is un-rendered and FCP is trying to sample rate convert on the fly…and not doing a good job of it.Instead of rendering inside FCP or relying on FCP to sample rate convert on the fly, its better to convert the songs to 48k Stereo Uncompressed AIFF files using Compressor, iTunes or Quicktime Player before bringing them into FCP.

What Gary suggests is easier and cheaper, but S-Video will give you a slightly sharper image.
If you are unhappy with the quality…think about getting the cable, its not terribly expensive.

Look a few lines down…there is a discussion going on about the same thing…or do you have a more specific question not being addressed there.
