Render bars and wrongly-framed footage after capturing
I’ve just finished capturing a project and while the footage looks fine in the Viewer window, I’m get a red render bar over any clip I put into a timeline and the footage is severely off-frame in the Canvas window. When I’ve tried rendering a single clip, it took an abnormally long time to do so and the computer timed out every time I tried to play the clip after rendering.
Is all this related? I’ve never had these kinds of problems before with this system.

What’s happening is you have mismatched capture/sequence presets.
Control-click the clip in the browser of FCP and look at its properties. How was it captured? DV/NTSC 29.97 48k? Or maybe something else?
Then, click on the sequence you’re trying to use (again, in the browser) and Apple-Zero it to pull up its settings. Do they match? If not, change them to match the clip.
If you happened to capture the clip using some very odd presets you might need to recapture. Though I doubt that’s what you did.
Check your sequence settings.
