    If I’ve taken a DVD and converted the file via Mpeg Streamclip, saved it as a FCP 8 bit uncompressed file, and opened it to my 8 bit uncompressed timeline, why do I still need to render it? Am I doing something wrong?

    Well, something doesn’t match between the footage and the timeline. It could be frame size, frame rate, or some other random thing.

    I can’t tell you what it is, but that’s what you should be experimenting with…looking at every minute little detail in the conversion process and the setup of the sequence.
