Re: [FCP-L] AJA QTtoDPX and FCP don't agree

When you run into frame rate or duration issues, it's always
worthwhile to run the clip through Cinema Tool. Conform it to some
frame rate, and back to the frame rate you need.

Have you tried cleaning up long frames? Tools/Long Frames.

Also, when you switch the FCP TC displays to frames, do you see the
expected numbers?

This issue seems to point to QuickTime as the culprit. Are you certain
that OS, QT and FCP are all in versions that work together?
