Better Solution?
Project SD 4:2:2 16×9
Transferred captured footage from external tower #1 to external tower #2. (Better raid configuration, drives etc.)
Restart FCP, reconfig. scratch disk, reconnect media, a little pain, but not too bad.
Existing sequences play fine with correct aspect ratio.
However, dragging and dropping any clip from browser into viewer or timeline, squishes the
footage to 4×3. (This doesn’t affect existing footage in the timeline). Both the viewer and the canvas are preserved as 16×9, and the sequence boxes are checked anamorphic. Creating a new sequence doesn’t help either.The item properties drop down menu of any clip displays the anamorphic line as unchecked. Checking the line resizes the footage correctly. Unfortunately, I have 14 plus hours of footage, divided into numerous sub clips, and file bins.
Since I can only open and check the item properties one clip at a time is there
a more efficient way to re-anamorphisize the footage?Started task with master clips, but that doesn’t affect subclips, and pasting attributes by dropping a resized clip into timeline doesn’t seem to work either.
Anybody have a work around/solution?Thanks,

Unfortunately, that anamorphic flag does not hold up sometimes. I wish it would.
That being said you can change many clips to anamorphic at one time via the browser. Simply select the clips in the browser, find the anamorphic column then right click in the column and choose ‘yes’ from the drop down. You might have to do it bin by bin, but it’s better than clip by clip.

Jeremy,
Thanks, I thought of that too, after I posted.
It is, as you say better than clip by clip.
Pretty annoying, tho’.
Copying a file, should copy the file.
Strangely, it showed up on my external monitor
correctly after dropping into the viewer, but
incorrectly after dragging it into the timeline.
Gotta go, lots of bins to open…..
