HI Meg The Dog
thanks for the reply .
we use xd cam ex3 cam for shooting our footage.
after using log and transfer and doing the edit, when we finalize the edit for backup..while taking trimmed backup in media manager, we couldn't make a trim from the raw video. for example : if we have used only 2 min of the 20 min raw footage, the trim happens for the whole 20 minute video.
Even after specifying handles and delete unused media has been checked in FCP 7.
This doesn't happens often but sometimes...even after checking in different mac system the same issue exist for the specific project.
hope this clarifies.
