i posted this in the "mac applications" forum, but this might be a better place for this type of question...

i've been editing a sequence in final cut pro and in the viewer i set my in and out points and drag it down to the timeline. when i do this, final cut is adding about 10-15 frames to the end of where i set my out point. does anyone know why this is happening and how to turn it off? i've used fcp before and i'd swear i didn't have this issue before.

edit:
i played around with it some more and while i could not figure out why fcp is doing this, i found that the number of frames that are being added to my out points seems to vary sometimes up to about 2 seconds, or 60 frames. could this have to do with some sort of snapping? i tried turning it off, but fcp would still add frames after my out point.

any help would so greatly appreciated!

That's most likely your problem. Try converting the footage into a different format (DV, AIC, DVCPro HD, ProRes, etc.,) and see if the problem persists.
