giant pixels
I am hoping to downsize a 16:9 aspect ratio clip down to only 16 by 9 pixels and then blow it back up to regular size (720 X 480) so that all that is left on the screen are 9 rows of 16 big rectangles that change colors to reflect the colors of the original clip. Is there a way to do this using Final Cut? I tried outputting to a custom size (16×9 pixels) but my computer couldn’t read the resulting QT file. As a last resort I can output a still of each frame, manipulate it in photoshop, and re-import the images as an animation but this will take a mighty long time. Any other ideas? Thanks!

All inside of FCP? Sure. I tried this. FCP was VERY unhappy with me when I did this.
Create a sequence. Open Sequence settings (CMD 0)
Set it to the following: Custom Aspect ratio. Width 32 Height 18 (I wanted to do 16×9, but who knew FCP won’t let you do any numbers below 16?)
Pixel aspect Ratio Square
No Field Dominance.Put your footage in that sequence.
Then throw it into a regular 16×9 DV NTSC anamorphic sequence. You’ll get 32×18, but it’s pretty much what you wanted.
Best,

Try sending the shots to Motion and use the Pixellate filter.
