    Hello
    I am using two sequences, one that I call “main” and one where I place the shots I was deleting from the main one. When I tried to copy one clip from the “deleted clips sequence” into the “main” one, I discovered the clips have a green line on top (I mean on top of the timeline exactly above the clips I pasted). I went back to the “deleted clips sequence” and discovered all of it has the green line. I tried changing the sequence settings, but nothing changes Does clips with the green line are zoomed in.
    Anybody know what might be the problem?
    Thanks

    you have to render… That’s all it means.

    If your clips have no effects to them, no crops, in other words if you haven’t touched the clips, the clip settings don’t match to your sequence settings.

    I think the problem is that Im working two different projects in the same computer, one is HD and the other one is DV. When I opened the DV project the sequence settings from the HD remained and changed the size of the clips. When I realized it, I changed the sequence settings but the clips would not go back to their normal size.
    I rendered and all of the clips are zoomed in, and behaving as if they where HD but they are DV. Do you know how can I take them back to their original size?

    Well I find that when I work in FCP with projects of different settings, it will respect the current settings of each project (only when you make a new sequence with the current settings be applied, which I think happend in your case).

    But try this: Select a video clip and go to Modify> Conform to sequence…

    OR

    Make a new sequence place a video clip in the sequence. If the settings don’t match, FCP will ask if you want to change the sequence settings to match your clip settings. Say yes. Then copy and paste your clips into the new sequence. Then do the Conform to sequence and indicated above.
