  FCP7 – distortion in viewer, clear in canvas?

  Posted by Drew Kerr on September 26, 2012 at 10:05 pm

  Hi:

  Weird problem I never quite encountered before.

  Just imported HD video freom my camera directly into FCP 7 (Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, 1920 x 1080).

  After loading all the clips into my browser, I double clicked on one of them to load it into my viewer. The picture was completely distorted, but the sound was perfect. I tried this with all the clips — same thing — distorted picture in the viewer.

  On a whim, I dragged one clip into my timeline, rendered it, and played it — perfect picture in the canvas! Same thing with all my clips.

  PHOTO BELOW.

  Is there some kind of rendering I have to do for these clips to show properly in my viewer?

  THANKS.

  Drew

  Go to the Browser and make sure that your footage is;
  – 1920 x 1080 SQUARED PIXELS
  or;
  – 1440 x 1080 HD pixels.

  Then fix your sequence setting, or are you trying to edit 4×3 Letterboxed?
