    I just took a look at all my footage and I have:

    4 different frame sizes: 720×480, 640×360, 720×486 and 720×540

    4 different compressors: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, Motion JPEG A, Photo – JPEG, Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2

    How would you set up your sequence settings?
    -Frame Size?
    -Pixel Aspect Ratio?
    -Field Dominance?
    QT Video Settings?

    The final product needs to be delivered for air on the web at 640×360.

    Thanks for all your help!

    I would drop everything in a 640×360 Square pixels/ Progressive sequence.
    Proress, and the time base depending of the stuff.

    I’m def. a novice FCP user … what do you mean by Progressive sequence? How do I make it progressive and what is it exactly.

    I also didn’t understand this part of your answer either …
    Proress, and the time base depending of the stuff.

    I’m sorry I don’t get it. Thanks so much for your help!

    Hi Colleen,
    If you are making a video for a web it must be progressive. So no Upper, no Lower, but NONE as field order. You need to de-interlace the footage you put on it.
    Proress is the codec that I suggest, and about the time-base, if all your footage have the same time base, no problem. If there are different time-bases you need to convert all the footage to a common one.
