  • Video in Viewer not in Canvas

    Posted by Brandon Ivey on August 27, 2009 at 1:42 pm

    I have a video that is 1280 X 720 that I imported to FCP. I dragged it to my sequence and the settings switched to match. But it is not showing up in my viewer. I can play it in my canvas, but my viewer is black with the wireframe. I checked my settings and it is set for all formats, USE DV-NTSC. That is the codec that exported it from using quicktime: HDV-NTSC 1280*720. Any idea what is going on?

    That’s standard definition.

    That is high definition.

    Did you check that your Canvas is not set to “Wireframe Only?” That’s what it sounds like you did.

    No, my settings changes when I imported the video. I didnt set my viewer to wireframe only. It was set to image+wireframe but when I imported, I guess it changes. Thanks.
