site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Andreas, I took at look at this. I've put a bug in about this. -eryk On Jul 10, 2008, at 10:24 AM, Andreas Kiel wrote: Forgot this Regards Andreas _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

When you alter the editing timebase (away from NTSC) in FCP, the timecode in the UI is updated, but something internally is not set correctly. When you export that sequence the old timecode (i.e. drop-frame) is exported in the XML. When FCP reimports that XML it changes the timecode to NDF and uses the frame number to make new timecode values. If you create a sequence at 60 (using a preset) the problem never occurs If you change the timecode to NDF before altering the editing timebase the problem does not occur. The problem only occurs when you are using DF timecode and you switch the editing timebase from 29.97 to 30 or from 59.94 to 60 the proect that you sent does indeed contain a sequence that behaves the way you describe: You can't change it from dropframe to DF in the sequence settings, but the exported XML has is be dropframe anyways, and incorrectly so. Maybe I misunderstood your comment, but if I create a project which is not NTSC then there can't be a DF timecode. In so far the FCP behaviour is totally correct! The weird thing is that the original exported FCP XMLs say it's not NTSC but DF timecode, which is not possible at all. Re-importing this virgin FCP XML does make a NTSC DF sequence out of it.
