I double checked the frame rate and it was 29.97 in both FC and QT. I did drag the QT back into final cut and the correct time came up in the viewer. So you must be right about some quirk with QT. I want to export a QT reference movie for a sound mix in pro tools so I guess I’ll have to make sure the mixer can open the reference in final cut or the omfs will be out of sync. Is that correct? Or should I try the whole export over again using a drop frame time line?
