Progress! I think!

I changed the Sequence Settings for Preview File Format to “Quicktime (Desktop)”, and it seems to have fixed the issue:

Does this make any sense?

Thanks Tom 🙂 Yea, I just have Mercury Playback.

So, after tons of troubleshooting, playing around with settings, etc… I’ve finally nailed the symptoms…

Rendering of any sort – whether there are effects applied or not – causes a one frame shift to the right. Period. Now that I’m able to ‘predict’ the behavior, I can work around it – but wow – this is incredibly annoying. I was hoping that the update from 6.0.0 to 6.0.2 would fix it – but alas – no cigar.

Another interesting thing, is that when I hover over “Clip A” – i.e. the one whose single frame is transposed onto Clip B – it shows:
End: 00:00:03:14
Duration: 00:00:03:15

Is that where the extra frame issue is coming into play?

1) 6.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.6.8
2) I just installed the 6.0.2 update
3) Not sure how to tell if I’m using Mercury Engine

4) It’s all imported from my Canon 7D @ 24FPS
5) The screencast I posted did not have any effects applied. However, when you apply an effect, the first frame of “Clip B” does not have the effect applied to it. For instance – if you apply color correction to Clip A – then render – and the one frame of Clip A is at the beginning of Clip B – that frame is not color corrected (so it requires a chop-off)

Unfortunately, I’m not sure this is the case. It’s affecting my ability to edit, since the rendered effects add a frame of “Clip A” to “Clip B”. I tried deleting the rendering, and re-rendering. Check it out here: (give it some time to load)

Before rendering, it’s fine. After rendering, you’ll notice the first frame of “B” is from “A”.

Is this a timecode issue? Anyone have any thoughts?
