Aspect not conforming in FCP online!
I onlined my project yesterday and as I patched gaps, re-rendered motion effect sequences (not Motion, but slo-mo’s, etc), I found that the clips I added to the timeline were a tiny percentage larger than the original material. I haven’t adjusted percentages anywhere- this is a straight capture from tape to Does anyone know why this is the case? And if so. what is the remedy?
The source material is DVCAM 4:3, letterboxed Super 16 mm w/burn-in. I onlined here @ 8-bit Component Uncompressed.
FWIW, this info arrived at the end of a 28-hour straight session, so you can imagine how ill-equipped I was to explain this one..I just laughed..This show has been the editing equvalent of those Buddhist pilgrimages where the monk takes one step, rests, takes another step, rests, from the ocean until he is standing on the summit of Mount Fuji….
Thanks again for your help. You guys are the greatest!

Explain the steps you took to online this project.
8 bit Uncompressed uses a frame size of 720 x 486 (ntsc) and native DVCAM uses a frame size of 720 x 480 (ntsc). If you do things the proper way, using the media manager, this should not matter…just black lines will be inserted at the top and bottom (4 and 2) to fill the difference, but in your case it sounds like things got slightly blown up instead, which indicates a possible error in the procedure you took.

OPen a new project (NEW PROJECT NOT NEW SEQUENCE) with the the same timeline starting timcodes.
Change the settings to match the 8 bit settings. 8 bit 720×486 etc.
SELECT ALL from the project that seems bad.
PASTE into new 8 bit project.
That should take care of it.
