Help. Slight sqeeze on dissolves???
I’ve been having a problem with DV footage doing a slight squeeze when doing a dissolves. I’ve checked and rechecked my sequence settings, etc. and can figure out why. Don’t seem to have this problem in other sequences. Tried new sequence. Anyone else have this problem??? Rough cut due tomorrow.

You must only judge quality on an external video monitor.
You must render all effects to view full quality.
If you have done this, then read on.The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.
https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html
A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCPro & FCExpress.Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in hundreds of “odd” problems.

That’s because it’s not rendered and you are looking at an rt preview. Make sure all of the options are checked in your sequence > render selection and render all menus. Most importantly make sure the ‘full’ option is checked and then hit render all (option-r).

ioLA? Are you sure you don’t have SD frame size footage in a DV Sequence or vice versa. This doesn’t sound good.

I have had a similar problem!! (I also use the AJA IO.) Incredibly frustrating I can sympathize… I had a slight stretch instead of a squeeze whenever I would use a cover shot. I never really found a way around it – some of these other guys’ suggestions may work. The way I worked around for the moment was to go in to the motion tab and change the size 0.05% or 0.02% smaller (although I realize this problem is different than yours – so this info is probably not that helpful).
Anyway… trash your prefs, render everything, and mixdown your audio… perhaps that shotgun approach will help.
