Multiformat edit: XDcam & HDV
I’m editing a multiformat job with XDCam and HDV. When I create the sequence in HDV the XDcam is stretched (short, squat people). What is the proper workflow for this kind of edit? Thanks. Pamela

put them both in a prores timeline though it will require rendering, it will work.
or invert. try putting the HDV in an XDCam timeline. see if it fixes it.

select the offending clips and either
1. select them and do a scale to sequence or conform to sequence
2. do a command 9 on one of the bad clips and see what its PAR is, and change it to the right one
3. failing all that, bring an offending clip into the source window, motion tab, reset its distort settings. it should now be ok, if not, try repeating #1 again.
some times FCP mangles a clips PAR…. and a prores TL won’t need a render

Chris–I thought I made a 1080i 1440 X 1080 sequence rendered with the prores encoder. But it’s a 1920 X 1080 sequence HDTV 1080i 16X9 sequence. The XDCam is still short and squat.
My edited sequence is 1440 X 1080 with hdv 1080i footage and XDCam 1440 X 1080 footage. I nested the sequence into a 1440 X 1080 sequence using the ProRes 422 encoder. When it asked if I wanted to change the settings to fit the footage I said “no.” And it didn’t work. What did I do wrong?

Thanks. Conform to sequence worked.
Have you had any issues with the HDV Log and Capture window not closing when you click on the close button in the upper left hand corner of the window?
