23.98fps is the rate. That would explain the problem I bet. But how did it get to this rate and how do I get it back to 29.97 which is what the sequence is set to.

Thank you for your help. I will try this later and let you know what I found.

You “modified” the file? How? what did you do to it?

Good question. I probably should have explained this better.

All I did to modify it was to change the text on one layer. The graphic is a slate and all I did was change the title of the spot. Everything about the file as far as format and size goes is exactly the same. Nothing was flattened or merged. Only the text changed.

I’ve seen it, too. How do we “trash the thumbnail cache”? I will definitely give that a try.

Thank you so much for this time-saving tip!

I don’t know how Vegas does it but on the Pinnacle you just right-click and select Disband. It’s that easy! Then you have 2 separate tracks. It’s very handy to combine a stereo pair into one track since you will manipulate them together for most part. It’s very similar to having a stereo audio source on one slider on an audio mixing console.

So, again, how does Vegas switch that stereo pair on one audio track and split it into two independent mono tracks on the fly? Just wondering how other folks do it.

[Terry Moore]

The advantage is that you only need to deal with one track on the timeline, yet you still have the 2 channels of audio. It’s a feature that was available on the “pro app” Pinnacle systems…and probably still is.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the reply. I’m seeing it on both the 30″ Apple monitor and the Panasonic LH26000W LCD monitor. FCP is feeding the NTSC monitor via SDI cable.
I could e-mail you a sample of what I’m seeing if you’re willing to take a look.

Or if you look at this website I found, it will give you a pretty good idea of what I’m seeing.

I, too have the interlace problem discussed here. However, I also see it in moving video, especially when the video is moving fast. I have never seen this before in my experience with tape-to-tape editing or with the other nonlinear systems I’ve worked with.

It doesn’t matter what the source footage is (DV, DVCPRO50, BetaCam), it all has the interlace problem, particularly when motion is involved.

Am I doing something wrong or is this just an anomaly of Quicktime video?

Video in my FCP projects is using the DVCPRO50 codec.
