Hallo,

At the company where I edit for, we are facing very frustrating behaviour inside FCP 6. This problem is just like Aaron described:

All footage is captured with FCP preset DV-PAL 48 (720×568). After editing the footage to the timeline, everything looks good. However when I export my edit from the sequence and watch it in a quicktime player it shows different cuts and footage (at some places) than was played back, originally.

I tried to put my exported mov in a new sequence with on top of that videotrack, footage from the original captured source-material (at places where FCP replaced frames) in the exported movie.

This didn’t give me any satisfiing result.

Mostly this problem occurs when footage is not captured at once. Sometimes it just replaces, the selected frames in the timeline, with other frames from that same file, or mixes it up; playing the in or out point a little bit earlier or later.

It also happens that FCP sees duplicated frames and connect this with another file. For example: where it shows duplicated frames in file 1 it takes frames from file 2 (with the same colourbar “duplicated frames”) and put those frames from file 2 in the place of file 1, where it says duplicated frames.

I wonder, if anyone has experienced the same problem and if there is a solution for it? Recapturing might be one but sometimes not on the long term.

thanks
