Hi Thomas,
thanks for your mail. You are right, the format ref is positively missing. This seems to happen for clips that have been broken apart. The very same clip shows up as expected if not broken apart.
The source clip's format is FFVideoFormat1080p24, it is standart. Even if it was non-standart, I would expect to see it listed as FFVideoFormatRateUndefined, or something like that.
The assumption that the source clip's format is the same as the sequence's would be incorrect.
So, since FCP X knows about the format and seems to not put this into the XML, are we looking at a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Rainer
