[Avid-L2] Re: 24 on Canon 5D, what am i doing wrong?

Did your Canon clip get imported with sound? I believe if an imported clip has sound the IgnoreQTrate=true does not have any effect. From a previous thread I think it must be video only for it to properly bring it in frame by frame. Once again the low frequency video, a.k.a. "audio", creates issues. ;-)
