Project length? Depends who you ask.

In FCPX i created a standard def 30p video with a length of (h)01:00:01;00 and exported in h.264
Quicktime opens the file and in the play bar shows a length of 01:00:00
Media Inspector reports "Video Stream Length: 1h 0mn 1s 1ms"
Previously I'd created two 1080p 24p videos with lengths of (h)01:00:00;00 and exported in both ProRes422 and h.264
quicktime opens these files and in the play bar shows a length of 01:00:03 for each one of them,
Media Inspector reports "Video Stream Length: 1h 0mn 3s 600ms"
Why the discrepancy? Thanks.

Thanks Tom, you basically solve the problem with your question.
Despite a lot of searching google and rooting around in fcpx i can't find the drop / non drop setting, except when starting a new project. However coming from a drop/non drop perspective, i know i'm editing the 30p (29.97) in drop frame, the 24p would be explained if it's 23.98p in non-drop frame, Media Inspector is likely giving accurate counts for both (and Quicktime is just being weird).
Given that I'm shooting Progressive and not broadcasting but sync / looping with flash media players, perhaps i should i be choosing to start new Projects in 30p & 24p instead of 29.97 & 23.98 .

  • Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.

    Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.
    I have been on the phone multiple times with Verizon, visited multiple stores and still getting different answers with every different person I talk to...
    Since the 4.4.2 update, my phone and my wife's phone (14 or 15 month old SIII's) that worked perfect a couple weeks ago no longer know where they are 95% percent of the time... Location cannot be found and GPS satellites cannot be seen (sometimes after searching for 10 - 20 minutes they will lock on).
    And it's not just Google maps, it is all apps that need location (ie. gps status and toolbox, weather channel, etc...)
    Google maps has us in the right location 50% of the time  but i think that has more to do with 4g and wifi (although i always know the weather and traffic conditions in the next town over now).
    Navigation will set up fine in Google maps until you actual move the car. Then it updates location every couple minutes, but usually a couple streets over from where I actually am. Maybe 1 out of every four or five times I try it, it will start working about 15 minutes after I started it (then work flawlessly, so it can actually work sometimes). But if you end the process and start over to see if it really "works", back to square one with it not knowing its location all over again...
    I obviously did all the normal trouble shooting fixes with the battery and sim card removals and even did a "recommended factory data reset" on my phone with no luck. After this didn't work I stopped by another verizon store yesterday that has "tech services" that I was told could run some sort of diagnostics on my phone. After I showed the tech all the screen shots i have taken of what was happening while driving, he said it is a software problem and a very common one at that.
    I was told I should either buy new phones or switch to the edge program where i can get a new phones. These don't seem like very fair solutions to me considering before the 4.4.2 update our phones worked perfect and they are both in almost perfect condition after 14 or 15 months...
    Will there be a fix to this??? Is it a Samsung problem??? Should I be contacting them???

    If it is 3GS, you can update it to iOS 5 and it will work.

  • Motion project length for FCPX effects templates.

    When creating a Motion Effect Template for FCPX, is there a recommend project length?  Is shorter better since the effect will change based on the clip length in FCPX? Or does it really matter as long as it is long enough to cover all included behaviors, etc?  Thank you.

    Generally the 10 second default duration works quite well.

  • Who you going to call????

    51 hours later...still waiting... I am an At&T customer for 5 years
    trying still to get activiated..in a series of phone calls.. the second csr (idiot)
    asked me for my order #, i stated i didn't have one because I am already a
    customer..he informed me he could do nothing without it....I stated no one else asked for it, only my cell phone number...he asked who i called..I said at&t. the
    same number I just dialed..he then responded....I don't know who you called but
    it wasn't at&t because all they want is the order number...the next csr told me that apple did all the activations and they couldn't help me.. the 3rd and final csr told me to go to at&t store and return the iphone and get a different phone altogether if i had to have a phone....so I have no phone and have used up my friends minutes on their phones,(to call at&t) and have to go away tomorrow without a phone..there really has to be a way to fix this!!!
    MacBook Pro 2.0 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   ipod nano, ipod 30gb iphone (not activated)

    I had a totally different problem (perhaps?), but I got the same "helpful" runaround from AT+T.
    Ask them any question three times, and you'll get at least five answers....

  • Cannot move the Project length marker! GB 10.0.2

    Hi, I'm having problems moving the project length marker in my GarageBand 10.0.2 file.  I need to export 2 short tracks, and so I need to move the project length marker to the end of the short tracks before I export them.  But the project length marker stops at the end of the longest track even though the track is muted out...and this means I cannot move the project length marker to the proper position.  It worked fine and then it stopped working.  Please help! 

    Then mark the section of the song that you want to export with the cycle region. The end-of-song marker does not matter, if the yellow cycle region is active.  Only the cycle region will be exported.

  • Project length limitations?

    I am trying to burn a dvd with iDVD. I have 5 - 21 min (give or take a min) videos which are about 175 mb (give or take) each. iDVD tells me that this is to large for it. Toast 7 can handle 5 without a problem. Has Apple put some restrictions on iDVD 6 in terms of project length?
    thanks

    I tried with both, I thought I heard awhile ago, that
    iDVD limits your videos to an hour, is that true?
    iDVD is supposed to fit up to 2 hours of video to a DVD. After about 90 minutes the quality starts looking worse, though. Toast 7 uses AC-3 audio which provides more room for either better video quality on longer DVDs or the ability to fit more video to the DVD. Also, Toast 7 doesn't need to reserve much space as does iDVD for the menus. My opinion is that IDVD is awesome for DVDs up to 90 minutes on single-layer discs or 180 minutes on DL media.
    This doesn't explain why your less than 2-hour project isn't fitting. Five 21-minute videos should fit.
    You can monitor what's taking up the space in your iDVD project by choosing Project info in the Project Menu

  • Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

    Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

    Either because you're trying to buy some sort of gift, or the iTunes Store servers are checking the validity of your account and won't charge the card, or there's a problem at Apple's end.

  • Marydee-You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images & how 2 get info

    Marydee- You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images. And you also asked how to get photo info for each image in iphoto
    Here's what I found in the iPhoto6 Help Menu:
    Showing a photo's image and camera information
    iPhoto stores EXIF information with each photo in your library. This information includes the photo's image size, the date and time it was taken, and the type of camera it was taken on, as well as important exposure information, such as the shutter speed, aperture, and film ISO.
    To show image and camera information:
    Select the photo and choose Photos > Get Info.
    You can also see a photo's title, date taken, rating, format, and comments by clicking the Information button in the bottom-left corner of the iPhoto window.
    Also please take a look at these prior discussions in iPhoto Forum/s:

  • Can you ask for a specific time for your package to be delivered

    can you ask for a specific time for your package to be delivered

    You can only arrange that with the shipper after your package is shipped (and before it is deliverd.) When the package is shipped Apple usually emails the tracking information.

  • Artists missing from ITunes - how do you ask ITunes to provide them?

    There are a LOT of artists missing from ITUNES. Some seminal albums. For example I wanted to download Ian Dury and the Blockheads (amongst many other artists) but ITUNES does not have a single track by him. Is this because ITUNES is particularly American in their outlook? or some other reason? How do you ask them to make certain artists and albums available for download?

    You need to be aware that often the reason any given artist isn't represented on the iTunes Music Store is that the artist or their record company won't license Apple to resell their tracks. This often happens with a deceased artist; the rights are sown up in estates.
    So by all means submit your request, but don't be surprised if nothing happens; often there's nothing Apple can do. In the case of The Blockheads, you might want to contact them directly and ask them to get their CDs onto the iTMS.
