  Clip format problem

  Posted by Jerry Jones on March 6, 2015 at 6:10 pm

  Am doing a a video for a friend’s funeral TOMORROW! (Am a long-time user of FCP – but this has me stumped.)

  Am working with FCP 7.0.3

  PROBLEM
  1) Have dropped in my clips on timeline
  2) Clips are not all same format
  3) Is there a quick way to make all clips same format?

  – Everything was shot on Panasonic AG90
  – I captured clips using Log & Transfer
  – 3/4 of clips are ok, but the remainder are either too large or too small – and sometimes distorted.
  – I made no changes in clip or sequence settings during any phase of this process.
  – I have been reading this forum (plus other things online) but have still not found a way to fix this.
  – I have looked at both clip & sequence settings and can find no noticeable differences in settings.

  If you have any suggestions on this, I would be very grateful to hear from you ASAP. Funeral is tomorrow.

  Thank you.

  Thanks, Dave. Kind of you.
  – Final out put will be DVD
  – Trying to get everything compatible with the following:
  – HDV 1080 p24
  – Frame: 1440 x 1080
  – Pixel aspect: HD Anamorphic 1080

  But for some reason, a couple of the clips ended up on the timeline larger and slightly distorted. (Again, I brought them in all from same camera and made no changes in settings. So a bit of a mystery.)

  I had already started editing before I realized the problem. If there is anyway to fix this (either via sequence and/or clips).

  or more simple:

  select all the odd looking clips, right click, and REMOVE attributes.

  they should have a green or grey render line above them… do they?
