Exported Qtime Movie does not (at all) match edited sequence

I am really stumped on this one, guys.
I have a simple FCP project.  It's 1 sequence, 2 video files and 1 music file.  3minute 30 second video.
Can't get much simpler than this.
My problem is that whether I export the sequence to QT movie, OR I export it to compressor, what is coming out on the other end is really NOTHING like the edited sequence I have playing (correctly) in my single sequence timeline.
QT and Compressor export videos are identically wrong: The edit points are wrong, the video segments that are being referenced are wrong and the timings are all wrong.  I tried clearing all the markers out of the timeline (no dice).
It's as if FCP is playing the sequence correctly, as edited, and then is using some other editing timeline for the final output and I can't figure out what's going on.
- My project has 1 sequence which I am trying to export.
- There are basically 2 reference video files (raw files) that I am using as source material.  Each file was shot at 24ap, and I imported them correctly at 29.97fps into a 24p timeline using advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown.  They play correctly in the timeline and I know the settings are right because I have exported several DVDs in 24p before using exact same settings.  The exported video here LOOKS "right" but the edits are totally wrong.
- Each of these video files has been "marked" by start/stop times via "mark" into segments. (In the browser on the left) One file has about 40 segments, the other has about 6 segments - based off the start and stop times captured during recording. 
- I dragged the segments into the timeline to start my editing.  (I have done this before and it worked fine on export) The segments all played correctly in the timeline from both raw video sources.
- I used the razor tool to cut the video segments down to sub-segments of video I actually want to use. (edits)  I discarded the audio portions of the clips because I am not using them. (but the video edits remain)
- I have 1 audio track, (music) and I am not using the audio tracks from the video. (Deleted those segments from timeline)
Additionally:
- The edited sequence plays back PERFECTLY.  Every shot, cut, etc is right where I want it, and it plays in the sequence window exactly the way I want it to export.  No errors, no glitches, nothing.
- The music plays back fine
- I checked to make sure there were no "hidden" video tracks or video tracks on top of one another.
- There are no "render errors".  Everything appears to be rendered, but I went ahead and rendered it again anyway.
- There are no "missing media" files.  As far as I can tell, all of the project's media files are connected properly and I didn't move any files.
- I have tried restarting FCP.  Didn't help.
- I have tried rebooting the system.  Didn't help.
My timeline is set to 24p.  (23.98)
Up to this point I have had no issues exporting from FCP either to QT nor to Compressor.  Everything prior to this file exported exactly as it played in the main sequence.
This time, the sequence plays correctly, but the export is totally wrong, and I have no idea how to "fix" it because eveything in my sequence timeline is CORRECT.  Ugh!  If this is what can happen to a simple video clip, what happens when you are editing a MOVIE????
Is there a way to "reset" FCP to force it to check media connections and re-render everything from scratch?
Any other suggestions?
(FCP 7.0.3)
Thanks!

ALMOST Solved:
Well, I haven't given up yet, and I am one step closer to solving the problem (almost there), but still need some help.
My workflow is really simple (and obviously wrong):
- Create new project
- Import source video
- Use DV Start/Stop Detect to mark source video into video segments
- Drag resulting segments of the source video to the timeline (all at once, in order)
- Use razor tool to edit segments (cutting out unneeded footage, arranging edits etc.)
- Select edited sequence
- Export (Quicktime or compressor)
- There is nothing wrong with the source files.  I have used them in other projects just fine.
- The problem IS with the way I am editing, and specifically it has to do with using the razor blade tool and using it on segments of video.  not clips, segments of clips.
To test this, I created a brand new FCP file, imported my raw footage files into the clips browser (like normal).  Then, I selected all of the clips and chose "mark\DV start top detect".  Lastly I dragged all 3 sets of segments (each video has been broken down into segments) into the timeline.  Without doing ANY other editing, I rendered the current timeline.
This time, the segments all exported into the resulting Quicktime movie exactly as they sit on the timeline, CORRECTLY.  What is playing now in Quicktime matches exactly what is on the timeline.  This proves that there isn't anything wrong with my source files nor my exporting codec.
So, my problem is using the razor tool on video segments.  This is a timing and timeline issue.  (You are right, Bogie!)
The really annoying part about all of this is that the sequence plays CORRECTLY in the output window!  If FCP would just export my sequence the same way it is playing it back to me on the timeline, there would be no problem, but it doesn't.
For whatever reason, cutting a video segment on the timeline does not tell the FCP render engine where the new "edit" points are within the video segment - and that's probable the wrong terminology.  The edited video sequence looks correct and plays correctly in the project window, but it doesn't export to QT (or compressor) the way that it looks because FCP is ignoring the razor edits.
For whatever reason, FCP insists on using only the original DV start and stop points in the timeline as defined by the orignal segments that have been dragged to the timeline.   In other words, FCP is using the DV "start/stop" points, as was defined by marking prior to dragging the segments to the timeline as the timing used to export to quicktime.
OK, I GET IT.  FCP doesn't like me mucking around with timecode of video segments!
So, what's the work around or correct way to do this?
At one point I was able to make independant video clips out of all of my segments, but I can't remember exactly how to do it.
I'm going to try that next, drag all the resulting video clips to the timeline and try again. 
Back to the drawing board....

  • Time Lapse .mov does not play all way thru despite complete movie

    I made a time lapse of a wedding using Time Lapse Assembler. It's always been OK.
    The .MOV it made this time is stated to be 1:39 long. If I play from the beginning, at 1:39 the wedding is far from over.
    Yet, if you drag the little marker back to the middle, it will go back a little and by the time you get to 1:39 the wedding is over and the chapel is empty.
    So... hit 'play' and 1:39 is NOT the end of the ceremony. Yet drag the slider and the whole ceremony is there during the 1:39.
    I just don't get it, and how can I fix it to play the entire movie (obviously longer than 1:39 at 30fps) in one go?

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.

  • I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people :(

    I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people

    There is no way to export Faces information.
    I'm not sure why you would do this:
    If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again,
    If space is an issue then move the whole Library to an external drive:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • CD/DVD drive does not read all DVD formats and regions

    Hi
    My Teac-dw-224e-a does not read all DVDs formats and regions.
    It does read CDs but no DVDs at all.
    Not DVD-R and not even regular DVDs. I have checked the region of the DVD.
    I have reinstalled the driver and also tried with different software.
    What can I do?
    Please help!

    Hi
    It is possible that your DVD drive has wrong region settings.
    In this case it is not able to watch all possible DVD movies from different regions.
    Of course you can change the settings 4 times. But after this changing the settings are fixed and its not possible to change it anymore.

  • Export to file does not work on iMovie 10

    I have a movie that was imported into iPhoto and plays fine. I then started iMovie, created an event and created a project within the event. I then dragged the movie into bottom movie time series window within iMovie and it showed up just fine and plays just fine within iMovie.
    HOWEVER, when I clicked share and tried to share/export the movie to a file all 4 cores on my cpu started ramping up and after quite a long time the exported movie never showed up in the destination folder. Opening up Activity Monitor I found the following red line item "QTKitServer-(363) iPhoto (Not Responding)"
    I then thought that perhaps since I had told iMovie to update existing projects to iMovie 10, perhaps the update of some of those other projects in the background was blocking my current movie export. Additionaly, I then realized that several of the projects not currently active (but being updated in the background) had iPhoto content from other iPhoto libraries not currently open. Is it possible that iMovie has an issue with updating projects when some of the iPhoto resources for those projects are not currently open in the curent iPhoto Library?
    thanks

    It seems that BW 3.5 SP10 may fix this problem.

  • IPhoto 9.4.1 does not solve all sync issues

    The 9.4.1 update does not solve all the sync issues.
    It may have fixed the duplicate Events that you can see in iTunes when syncing to an iDevice, but it has not resolved the duplicate Faces.
    I still have many duplicate Faces showing, even though in iPhoto the Faces are only there once.......

    Try the following:
    1 - open the library package with the Finder as follows:
    2  - Find the AlbumData.xml file and move it to the Desktop.
    3 - close the package and launch iPhoto.
    See if the above will get rid of the bogus events.

    I go to amazon.com, look up the album in the search bar, the do a copy (right click, copy) on the artwork that shows up.  Then you go to iTunes and right click the album you want to update with that artwork, click "get info" click in the artwork square and press the 'command and V' keys for paste (fyi right click paste does not work here) you must just click in the square and press command-V which will paste it.  It should then place that artwork in the square to update all songs in that album.  Hope this helps...

  • FINAL EXPORT / MIXDOWN FONCTION does not work. The Output Wave Resulting is a total silence?

    AUDITION FINAL EXPORT / MIXDOWN FONCTION does NOT ever work
    The Output Wave Resulting is a TOTAL SILENCE - NO SOUND AT ALL
    Bought & registered Program act as an expired DEMO...
    The result is a wave with a completely flat HORIZONTAL LINE of pure $300.00 rip off of SILENCE
    Even after many clean reinstallations AUDITION never is able to do a Final Mixdown with any Sound in it.
    A AUDITION Support Technician cleaned up during 1 hour about 15 secret hidden Adobe files in the Windows XP System.
    After this clean up the AUDITION program functionned ONCE! Once it was able to output a Final Mixdown with sound in it.
    That never occured again after. I have a very standard very well maintained Windows XP computer.
    My understanding & the experience with the Adobe Support Technician prooves that the problem is the deeply hidden spy files of Adobe who erroneously turn my bought & registered program into an expired DEMO. I have reported the problem numerous times to Adobe, & everytime I talk to support people at Adobe, they tell me they have never heard about this problem, when I already had reported it MANY times at the Adobe Tech Support department !!!
    I can only draw the conclusion Adobe is trying to hide this problem away by pretending they have never heard about it.. ?
    Anybody have had a similar AUDITION  / DEPRESSION nightmare & found a solution ?

    I would term Audition to be the very first & only recording program (on PC) conceived for musicians. All the others Audio Logic, Q Base ect. are conceived for professionnal recording engineers.
    You seem to have a rather strange conception of Audition, I must say. Most musicians want it to do rather more than it does. It wasn't conceived for musicians at all really - it was originally designed to be just an editor, to which the functions of a multitrack tape recorder were added. Its primary use is professional - always has been, mainly by radio stations. Just about every station in the world has at least one copy, and some larger ones like the BBC have rather a lot more... and I'd say that it was the likes of Cubase and Logic that are conceived for musicians, not Audition. It's also used by a lot of Mastering studios, even though they won't admit it. The primary reason for it being in Adobe's Creative Suite is because it's getting more and more integrated with the video programs in it - nothing to do with music at all.
    I'm afraid that whether you like it or not, Audition is marketed towards people who do know what they're doing, by and large. That's why it behaves the way it does, and why you do really need to be at least a bit of a technician to use it effectively. And I'm still trying to think whether I know of any guitarists at all who use amplifiers and who don't understand at least the basics of how a mixer works, but I'm afraid that I can't think of any. I'm not going to say that it's common knowledge, but I don't think it's that rare either.

  • Time Machine does not save all file to a second target

    Hi all folks,
    today I use a Time Capsule and a FW Disk to store my data to two Backups volumes.
    Now I see, sometimes the FW Backup does not contain all data. Especially my iTunes data was not stored completely to the second Backup Volume. Some other data is not store completely too, maybe.
    In general, a backup is taken every hour to the Time Capsule and one/two times a week I switch to the FW Disk to store an additional backup to this media too. I switch the target via the Time Machine Settings.
    Any Idea what's going wrong,

    You can use an external drive. Connect the disk to your PowerBook, copy the pictures and move them to your MacBook Pro

  • Iphoto does not import all items from camera

    I have been importing photos into Iphoto from my canon SD300. I have noticed that on occaissions it has skipped a few files while importing. In particular it has skipped movie clips. When the camera is connected Iphoto says it is ready to import and tells you the number of images and movie clips, and it recognizes all of them. However, once the import function is over on the last occaision I noticed that two clips and one image was not imported. I manage to get the missed image/clips by inserting the memeroy card in a card reader and dragging the missed image/movie clips into Iphoto.
    I would appreciate if any one knows why Iphoto does not import all the items from the camera even though it recognizes that they exist and how I should fix this problem.
    Thanks.

    Hi imac2,
    I don't know why iPhoto skips some of your files. I can tell you that I use Image Capture to download my images and video clips. My video clips from my Canon can get quite large (over 1010 mg). iPhoto can import smaller clips that digital camera made, but now a lot of the newer camera can create very large video clips and I don't think iPhoto can handle importing them.
    Once I download my images and video clips I put them in dated folders. This makes it much easier to back up the video clips and images. I then import the folders of images into iPhoto. I like having more control.
