James,

Thanks for the input. I’m going to work at reformatting the show to a 1080i time line (looks like I’ll have to repull everything)

I don’t think that it’s a Panasonic issue, more like Apple becoming more like a PC (buggy as all can be)

I wonder if this could be the lastest version of QT causing problems or if it’s just a 720p24 issue.

Many thanks for the input

Mike

Tom,

Thanks for the input. Thought about the “DUH” (Or my wife will say “PUTZ”) moment, but the sequence was set to 59.94. Late last night, I took the time to laid it down onto a 29.97 sequence, sure enough, it was long, about 15 frames for every 5 minutes of program. But at the end it was more like 4 seconds heavy, not the typical 108 frames per hour. Also a number of clips were out of sync by 1 frame and in about 2 dozen places, clips were shortened by 1 frame.

I’m thinking it might be the QT update that I ran as a part of software update a couple of weeks ago. I’ve got FCP 6 in house, so I’m going to look at doing the update after the 1st.

Many thanks for the advice. Have a really good New Year!

Boy, do I miss the days of the old ABNER edit controller, a couple of VHS machines and a case of DIet Coke to get through an all night edit season . . . . . bring back QUAD! (HEHE!)

Walter,

Many thanks. Now I know why I prefer Sony.

Thanks for the reply. Currently that is how we are replacing the clips, but it’s rather time comsuming to do it this way. On our M100 system, we can “cut” out the shot, reassign it a new reel name and repull them much faster since we can selected those clips and do a batch capture. I’m looking to do the same in FCP

Thanks

Mike
