Renders down rez in FCP 6.0.2!
A strange problem suddenly cropped up. Anytime I copy and paste a clip into a new sequence (even short 3-sec clips), I have to render it in the new sequence and the clip downrezzes into big blocky pixels, like looking at my clips on an 8-bit Apple II.
The only recent changes I made were installing QT 7.4 and Magic Bullet plug-ins.
Rendering is fine in all original sequences. But anytime I open a new sequence in any project and copy over a clip – I have to render and it turns to low-rez mush. And this is without using any of the MB plug-ins on a clip (which seem to otherwise work fine). If I export from the original sequence to QT, it plays fine in the QT Player. But if I export the copied sequence, I get the same low-rez mush in the QT Player that I see in FC.
Anyone else see this problem? It does not seem to be QT 7.4 or Magic Bullet related, as other people with both of these have not reported this anomaly. Any idea how I can trouble shoot it?
System – MacPro 8-Core, Intel Xeon, 8GB ram, Mac OSX 10.4.11, FCP 6.0.2, QT 7.4

That means your clip does not match the sequence. Anytime you have a render a clip with absolutely no effects or filters applied, that clip does not match the sequence.

Thanks! That was in fact the issue. Strange, since I had set the sequence to have the same settings but somehow it changed.
