Multi-Format sequences in 6 = AOK

[Andy Mees]

all very interesting, but as has been pointed out, earlier versions of FCP would also automatically resize higher resolution footage to fit lower resolution timelines … what it didn’t do was automatically scale up lower resolution footage to fit a higher resolution timelines. how is this being handled? does it letterbox/pillarbox or edge crop?

Hmm I dunno, there must be a hidden sequence setting, otherwise the software wouldn’t know what frame size and codec to use when rendering any effects. In Avid AFAIK that’s done at the project settings level, no idea about M100.

I’ve been a lurker for a while so this is my first post. I was looking around at the new preferences in FCP 6 and I saw this one called “always scale clips to sequence size”. Its in the user prefs, editing tab.
I turned this off and my SD clip was not scaled when I edited it into my DV timeline. The clip’s center parameter is shifted -1.
This seems to be what you want FCP to do, correct? or am I missing something?

Beauty! Thanks for that one.
