    Hi I seem to be getting a small black crop around the edge of frame when exporting from FCP 7 to
    After Effects back to FCP,
    Workflow is FCP Timeline is xdcam 422 50i mps export to After effects interpret footage to correct colour
    space frame rate and field, do effects work on shot, re-export to xdcam 422 50 codec from After effects,
    import back into FCP and this is where I have a problem, I put it on the time line and I get a very slight black border round the picture

    No, no blurring of footage

    1. pixel aspect correction button is off in AE or interpret is wrong in
    project.

    2. try a still image sequence with no effects. that will eliminate any codec variables/image degradation possibilities

    Just did a test didn’t happen this time, must be finger trouble, but the gamma changed any advice on this?
