Thanks! Which Natress filter do I use for this situation?
Advanced Pulldown Converter
Add Pulldown
Remove Pulldown

Thanks for the idea. I’m not sure we are going about switching from SD to HD in the same way. The way I was doing it is that I have my still pics each saved as two different files-a high res and a low res. And I’m looking to reconnect the clip to the high res when I’m finished editing, but then the scaling and motion of the picture is all out of proportion. I tried bringing it into motion and reconnecting to the higher res file but it doesn’t seem to work either. Can you tell me how to reconnect to my file to its higher res version in Motion or am I going about the workflow wrong? Should I not work with separate high and low res files? I’m not sure how you were doing yours with low and then high quality rendering.

I have the same problem. Its hard to know what exactly the files are that it is referencing because it doesn’t list them. If you select “add” it just shows you the file names as it is trying to digitize from the tape..and since I didn’t want it to overwrite my files, I cancelled that before I could see all that it was referencing. These are files that were perfectly online before this error occurred and should never have been referenced or in need reconnecting. Just started my own post of it but here’s what it said:

I am digitizing mini dv footage on a G5 to a 2TB Lacie firewire drive. Just yesterday I received the error – “Additional Items Found- 6 items outide of your current selection have been found to reference media about to be processed druing this operation. If you add these items to your selection, an additional 46.8GB of disk space will be required for an additional 08:16:13:05 of media referenced by these items. If you select continue these items will not be added to your selectionand might be taken offline- ADD, CONTINUE, ABORT”
I was selecting continue because there didn’t seem to be any way around it and knew that i didn’t want to capture an additional 8hrs of footage. I also figured that eventhough it said it may cause some things to go offline in the project, thought i could always reconnect to them because the clip files are on the drive. This happened with every tape I tried to digitize. One time i selected “add” so that i could see what else it was referencing and it was some clips from the prior week that had nothing to do with what i was digitizing- not similar reel names or anything. So i cancelled and restarted my capturing, selecting continue again. Everything seemed normal when i left. All my video clips i digitized were in my project ready to go. So today I came in and opened it up and it said i had a bunch of files offline. I selected to reconnect and searched for the files (which included all of the clips i had done yesterday and some other clips from last week that it had wanted to reference during digitizing) and none could be found. Luckily the clips from the prior week were already backed up on another drive, but everything from yesterday was lost. I also tried to batch capture some of the offline clips that I had digitized yesterday and I am still getting the “additional items found” error. Why does it want to reference and redigitize old clips that are online when i am capturing new material and why did it delete the clips i had captured?? I just trashed the fcp prefs and that did nothing to help my problem. Also tried copying and pasting all of material from my project into a new project. No luck. Please help.
