Ok, here's another question then.
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.
