When FCP imports an XML file describing subclips, it ignores the clip's stated duration but calculates it based on the file's duration and startoffset and endoffset. However, there seems to be a bug in FCP 5.0.4 and the processing of endoffset is out by one, so the subclip's duration (and Media End) is one frame too short after it's imported. You can see this by importing a subclip, exporting it and importing it again. Each time it gets shorter by one frame, which I take it to mean it's unequivocally a bug in Final Cut Pro, and not my understanding of the XML format :-) Has anyone else seen this? If so, how do you handle it? Do you process subclips the same (broken) way as Final Cut, to try to be compatible, or do it correctly and put up with durations being out by one frame compared to FCP? Obviously the danger with trying to correct for FCP's behaviour is that Apple might fix it in a future update. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
