This may not be asked in the right area but I work at an Advertising Agency and we sometimes produce our own spots or get them from clients. We edit and encode all the spots for different parameters in our different markets. Some markets we run are 720 while others are 1080. Some are MPEG and others are MPEG2. Each market has its own watch folder that we run the spots thru.
Anyways there have been a few spots recently that we have put through the watch folders in at :30 seconds and come out at shortened times like :4 seconds or :8 seconds or even :14 seconds. We have exported these spots several different ways out of Final Cut Pro on Mac. We have done Command E and Quicktime Conversion on exporting them out. It is only happening in a couple of the folders with just 1 or 2 spots. So I do not believe its a Watch Folder issue but I could be wrong. The spots we have had this happened with were for 2 different markets from 2 different clients. We have tried every which way to figure it out but have had no luck. Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Thanks

Probably better asked and answered in our Mac Forum. Moving you.
Sometimes it take a while for answers from our Mac members.
And welcome to our forums. -
My initial guess is that it has to do with the source file, and not the workflow per se.
These shortened clips, are they cut off at the end? at the beginning? are they sped up?
Are these affected clips in a similar source format?
Are these clips from external origin? I.e. made outside the quality control procedures for your own agency?
E.g. MPEG files can have “timecode breaks” which may confuse encoders and end the conversion process. There may be other file characteristics applicable to all kinds of files with similar effects.
