Thanks Greg and Rainer. Seems like it's easy enough to work around.

But I'm interested to know if it's deliberate and if so, what advantage it offers over encoding them the expected way.

To "decode" those start times I've been using Spotlight a lot: copy the fraction, paste it into spotlight and you'll get it converted into "human readable" seconds.

So your first 3 markers are 7.3333333333, 9.2083333333 and 9.4166666667.

Hope this helps,

Greg

I was playing around with a test project and exported an XML file. The duration and offset timebases of the media are predictable: 2400, 48000, 50, etc.

However, the marker start times seem to have bizarre timebases. Why is the timebase for the start position not inherited from the clip or project timebase like the duration?

Here's a sample of the XML file. You can see that the marker durations are all "100/2400s" but the start times all have different and seemingly random timebases. Is this by design or is it a bug? The FCP XML guide doesn't mention it.

          <clip name="90-8+_ProRes_Proxy" duration="37s" audioStart="0s" audioDuration="90000/2400s" format="r2" tcFormat="NDF">
                    <video ref="r4" duration="90000/2400s">
                        <audio lane="-1" ref="r4" duration="1800000/48000s" role="dialogue"/>
                    </video>
                    <clip lane="1" offset="67700/2400s" name="90-8+_ProRes_Proxy" duration="28700/2400s" start="42000/2400s" tcFormat="NDF">
                        <video ref="r4" duration="90000/2400s">
                            <audio lane="-1" ref="r4" duration="1800000/48000s" role="dialogue"/>
                        </video>
                    </clip>
                    <clip lane="-1" offset="76500/2400s" name="90-8+_ProRes_Proxy" duration="28700/2400s" start="42000/2400s" tcFormat="NDF">
                        <video ref="r4" duration="90000/2400s">
                            <audio lane="-1" ref="r4" duration="1800000/48000s" role="dialogue"/>
                        </video>
                    </clip>
                    <marker start="22/3s" duration="100/2400s" value="Marker 1"/>
                    <marker start="221/24s" duration="100/2400s" value="Marker 2"/>
                    <marker start="113/12s" duration="100/2400s" value="Marker 3"/>
                    <marker start="21/2s" duration="100/2400s" value="Marker 4"/>
                    <marker start="34/3s" duration="100/2400s" value="Marker 5"/>

                    <marker start="109/8s" duration="100/2400s" value="Marker 10"/>
                    <marker start="113/8s" duration="100/2400s" value="Marker 11"/>
                </clip>
