Helium ProRes files randomly 1 frame longer than R3D

[Matthew J]

I shot a feature last month on my CF Helium and now the director, DIT, and Editor are telling me that some of the ProRes LT proxies we shot in camera addition to the R3D files are 1 frame longer than the R3D files. Has anyone else had this issue?

Also, does anyone know of a way in Avid to get around the fact that when they try to relink the original ProRes LT files (that are 1 frame too long) to newly made Proxies that are the same frame amount as the R3D file, Avid balks?

Thanks,

Matthew

I seen this. And I guess the prores recording is diffult to get to same length as it has not been fixed.

Normally if they relink the edit and not the source bin the missing frames in the end would not matter. Not sure if that works with avid though. Most online NLEs has tricks to handle it, one is to trim handles of the edit before reconforming then the problem only remains on those clips where you actually used the last frame of the prores in the edit.
