I am using FCP7 and whenever I take a portion of a clip down into my timeline, it seems to pull an extra frame from the original source clip. I have done everything in my power to get rid of this "extra" unwanted frame. Has anyone come across this issue and is there a resolution?

For starters you are working with a delivery format. MP4 is not an editing format. I would convert this to Proress for editing in FCP7. MP4 is very finicky.

If you need a tool to convert to Proress just google MPEG Streamclip. It will do the trick for free and save you the headache.

^^^What he said about not using MP4.

Why don't you highlight the edge of the clip in your timeline and "option + left arrow" to trim a frame off? Is it really there or is it stuck in your render? You can delete your render files via Tools > Render Manager.
