Max,
you can import all of the graphics in at a six second length if you go to user preferences and change the import still length to six seconds. (Sorry not in front of my system right now, so don’t know exactly what it’s called, but it’s right there in user prefs.) As for the fade, I’m not sure if there is a function to add to multiple clips at once, but you can create a 10 frame fade and set it as your favorite then roll through a pretty quick copy paste at the tail of each graphic.

P.S.
as long as pro tools can read NDF and the project settings match the input file things should be golden.

Rick,
I’m not sure how Pro Tools will respond to the TC inaccuracy within quicktime. I haven’t worked with it much. I’d just stick with NDF since that’s how you edited originally. I’d make the sound mixer aware of what you’re seeing, but I am assuming that the problem you’re seeing is exclusive to QT itself, not the actual file. As long as Pro Tools has a more intricate eye, it should line up with what FCP is seeing as correct running time.
Maybe others who have more experience working with OMFs and Pro Tools would have better input about the way that quicktime communicates with them. I think that it’ll probably come out okay though, since the mixing program has a bit more depth than QT. But your sound mixer should be able to tell if things are off from the beginning. If he knows that he should expect 02:00:00:00 and gets 02:00:07:00 than something deeper is going on with QT.
Good luck!

Rick,
The only thing I can think of is that the edit seems to be reading at 23.976 fps and the export at 23.98 fps. Did some quick math and it seems that for 2 hours a seven second differential makes sense — but I’m jumping the gun on assuming those frame rates. The difference between 29.97 and 30 would also account for a difference. I have run into crazy drift on transcoding and exporting, especially moving between NDF and DF formats.
What are your frame rates reading in FCP exactly, and if you’re viewing the export in QT, what is it reading there? Might try moving the exported file back in FC and see if the time magically comes up with what you expect. I know that QT miscalculates sometimes, esp. on 23.98.
Let me know if I can help you out any further.

third on Episode Pro. It’s an animal.

You could try exporting a batch list, opening the excel file and posting those two columns into a document. That should work.

Set in and out points around the first half, export, go back and set in/out around second half, export. That will split the sequence exports that should work for a multi-disc project.
Good luck!

Emir,
What are your sequence settings? I see your footage is 50i, so assuming that you’re editing at 25fps. You should double check that you’re not exporting at a straight 50fps as your finished export is exactly half of what your edit time is. You could try exporting QT conversion, selecting 1080i50 settings (that way you shouldn’t need to re-render everything) and see if the timeline comes out correctly. I was going to suggest to check your in and out points, but looks like you’ve already done that. When you watch your QT export, does it look like it is playing at the correct rate? What is the QT information box reading the rate as? Or, as it very well could be, is half of your actual edit missing? You might also check that you’ve got enough space at your export destination– I’d try the QT conversion though, and see how that reacts.
Good luck.

Paul,
you might try to select all of your clips and then control-click. A dialogue box will appear allowing you to remove attributes. If you select this feature, you can remove filters. If you have multiple filters (besides just the cc on the clips) you may run into problems though. Then simply highlight all the clips you want to add the new cc filter to and drop it on.
Best of luck.

Lawrence,
set your playhead on the last frame (or the one you want extended) and make a freeze frame — shift-N or go to the modify menu and select freeze frame.
Easy as pie. Have fun.
