MacPro mid 2012 12 core 2x6 2.66GHz OS 10.8.5 MC 8.3.1 with symphony option.
I had a sequence I was color correcting in a 1080i/59.94 project. I closed the sequence bin and then when I went to re open the sequence and load into record monitor I got the prompt that the color correction needed to be updated, strange. Then the new sequence opened but when I close and reopened it the same prompt. The second update sequence would close and reopen without further update request.
After this I noticed the timeline had shifted out of sync. I looked closer and two sections that had motion effect clips had the clips duration expand leaving gaps in my video and audio mixdown reference tracks. Lifting out the extended tails on these clips brought everything back into sync. At first I though I had done some strange extend but this was on several clips. Later I found the clips that mysteriously got extended were nor matching the offline. The motion effects appeared as the traditional motion effect, not a time warp and read 100% with a 2 frame strobe. I went back to the original sequence and found that the original clips were in fact timewarp motion effects that read 50% with a 2 frame strobe. Cutting those sections back into my timeline and the video matched properly. I can only assume that those prompts to update color correction which was weird to begin with is when all this nonsense started.
Before I had figured out what was happening I was taking the old traditional motion effects and promoting them which oddly made the green line for symphony color correction disappear even though the color correction remained on the video output it was no longer visible in the timeline as a clip with a green bar. When I put back in the non updated clips from the original sequence the symphony green lines acted as normal.
When I looked closer at the correct clips some seemed to have speed ramps with keyframes. The offline was done on an 8.4 system but this is the last of a 10 episode series and I've not had this issue on the other 9 episodes. This was also the first episode the prompted me about a mixed frame rate timeline when I went to export a QT reference so maybe that is a factor. Very odd behavior. I seem to recall some aspects of this problem popping up on other systems I worked on but nothing quite this drastic. IIRC I have seen committing multi cam edits actual shift the time code of some clips but that was several versions back and it didn't alter the clips durations.
Anybody seen any weirdness like this.
