    Yeah, I looked at the wrong line when I said there was no compression for the individual clips. Individual clips are at h.264 and they’re mov files. I have no idea how the sequence ended up like that.

    You have a boatload of “wrong” happening here.

    Your clips being H.264 is a problem too. FCP doesn’t work with H.264 files natively well at all. The issues that crop up are random and unpredictable. All those files should be, need to be converted to ProRes 422. This should have been done before you started editing. And they’ll all have to be converted now before you continue.

    And then you need to make a new sequence that is 1920×1080 ProRes and use that sequence. There is so much that you need to do to fix this that you might end up recutting the project, replacing that bad footage with good.

    If you want to edit h264 native, you need to use FCX or PPro CS6.

    Hey Shane,

    thanks for all of your input and help. I’ve recompressed to prores422- it took two days, but it’s all in the correct format now. I’ve gone through all the footage and with the exception of two clips, it all looks the same. I was able to fix the color correction on the two clips mentioned, but there’s one thing that is weird: The entire movie is several minutes shorter than before. Thoughts?

    Thank you sincerely,

    David

    Not that I’ve noticed. Does that happen?
