jury says... yes, still there

"First thing I'd try is to keep the sequence settings matching to HDV - get that out of the way as the problem. Then in Color render out to ProRes. See what happens."

Not exactly sure what you mean here. My sequence settings all match my clip settings, HDV 720P24. The sequence rendering setting is set to ProRes, but that only comes into play when the clips are rendering in the sequence. But just because I've got nothing better to do...

And yes, check again. With sequence rendering set to HDV, this time the in point was off by 3 frame and the out point by 1 frame.

I tried the XML thing last night. Does the same thing. I'm beginning to think its the XML out that's getting flubbed. But without some confirmation that its not just me, this is all a lot of chin music. Can anybody simply take a second and throw some HDV clips in a sequence and send it out to Color? You don't even have to render it, just check the timecodes that come in for me.
