timeline bug in snow leopard?

Recently upgraded to snow leopard and still running fcp 7.0.3.
Noticing that the timeline is not displaying accurate time anymore.
Footage is 23.98. Sequence setting is DVCPRO HD 1080p30.
Yet footage in the timeline has 29 frames per second instead of 24.
Duration in browser for a clip does not match duration in the timeline.
A one second clip in the timeline shows 1.06 duration in the browser.
Anyone else seen this? What's the solution?

You need to use the Dvcpro HD 1080p24 preset.

Maybe that's it. I had to recreate my Kona card easy setup after the clean
install of snow leopard and may have selected the wrong preset. I'll give it
a try and report back.

Checked out my easy setup and it's the same as before I upgraded to snow leopard
because I did a screen grab of the audio/video settings before for reference.
The sequence setting is Kona LH: 1080psf 23.98 DVCPro HD 1080p30.
This is a custom setting that we use. But something changed in the transition to
snow leopard. BTW, DVCPRO HD 1080p24 is not a compressor option.

Nested sequences in timeline. Duration in browser 4.35.56.18. Duration in timeline reads 4.40.45.12. Never had this problem before. New sequences that are not nested display correct duration in browser and timeline.

Use the DvcproHD 1080p24 sequence preset.

Create a new sequence set to this preset, then copy and paste everything into that new sequence. You won't be able to change the timebase when clips are already in the sequence.

Same thing happens. The original timebase is 23.98. And the sequence preset is 23.98.
I just checked this out on an edit system still running 10.5 (leopard) and it works correctly.
If you home the playhead to the beginning of a sequence and go + 1, in leopard it displays 1.0.1.0, but in snow leopard it displays 1.0.0.24.

If you go +29, in leopard it displays 1.0.1.5, in snow leopard it displays 1.0.0.23.

It's a bug.

> And the sequence preset is 23.98.

Sequence Preset is not the same as Sequence Settings. Sequence Preset only affects Sequences created in the future. My guess is that you didn't change the frame rate of the Sequence at all. Press COMMAND-0 with the Sequence selected or opened to access Sequence Settings. And as strypes mentioned, to change the frame rate of a Sequence, it must be empty.

Is timebase set to 23.98? Is DF timecode unchecked?
