Mixed frame rate / rendering problem

Hi

A strange problem. A lot of the clips on my timeline were screen-captured and are non-standard frame rates. All mixed together, they play back fine within Final Cut, but when I export, much of the output is using footage from other places in the clips. So I can't export my project

I've tried exporting with 're-compress all frames', thinking that might do it, but no luck. Any ideas?

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

It sounds like you may have corrupt files in your project.

What codec are you working with? What application did you use for screen captures? What format are you exporting to? What is the final destination for the project?

More info will help us help you.

Hi

Thanks for your response.

The videos aren't corrupted, but they are all different framerates. I used Screenium. I think it captures whatever it can manage depending on the hardware of the machine capturing, so the framerate ends up variable. It's in pro-res. I didn't change the framerates to a standard 25 / 30 fps because I figured Final Cut Pro would be able to deal with it - but I think I may have tripped it up! I may have to capture the edit, then convert to a definite 25fps throughout, but if you have any other solutions I'd love to hear. Many thanks
