I have some video footage shot at a high frame rate and with a large frame size of 1024×1024. They where recorded as a sequence of targas onto a HDD.”

Those frame sizes are quite small, keep in mind that 1080i HD is 1920×1080 and 2K film is over 2000×2000. FCP is resolution independent and can handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

Im sorry to be pain, but can you point me in the right direction on how it is done. Im not the person who will be doing this and don’t know FCP at all, but the person who will be doing it, was having difficulty.

Thanks

They sound like images of a high speed camera. Just guessing.

To import the targa sequences, open Quick Time Player, not FCP and select Open Image Sequence under the file menu. Select the first still frame, and QTP will do the rest – it will ask you for a frame rate (select your project frame rate)

Save as a quicktime (it will have the frame size and frame rate of the original) and import this file into FCP. Drop the clip into the timeline, and it will automatically resize to fit the sequence frame rate. Double click on it in the timeline, open the Motion tab in the Viewer window, and adjust the scale and position as required.

Best of luck
