We haven’t upgraded yet to OS 10.5.2. I’m hoping that will clear up the issue. If that doesn’t work, you’d suggest having the new video card looked at?

Thank you

Oddly enough, I’ve just started getting these same warnings, but on sequences where the effects have been edited in and were previously working.

Recently, we’ve added a new graphics card (NVDIA GeForce 7300 GT)so that we could add a third monitor, but the card is the same as the card already in the Mac Pro. Would this new card cause this problem?

Thanks David. I’ll try and get as much info to you.

By “test footage” I mean simply that I’m shooting video and logging/capturing with FCP6, to compare and contrast the newly shot video info with the previously shot clip info.

I don’t know what settings were used with the previous footage (that lists a res of 1920×1080 in the clip info in the Capture Scratch folders), however, before I had done the Easy Setup on my own a while back, the setting I recall seeing in FCP had 1080i50 and HDV.

Presently, I’m shooting with a Canon XH A1, which is 1080i60. All footage, old and new, has been shot on Sony HDM60 (Mini DVC) and captured to FCP6 with capture/now.

Thanks for the response, Weiss. I should clarify… the clip’s info which lists res of 1920×1080 — that was the info I got when I right-clicked the clip from in the Capture Scratch folder.

When I right-click and select “format” info from the same clip in the Project Bin, it says that frame size is 1440×1080.

The Easy Setup was already set to what you recommended, but the test footage I shot still doesn’t have the 1920×1080 res. Is it something in the capture, then? Is there a way I can check the capture settings on a clip?

I know, I know… tired questions from newbies…

And thanks for the encouragement to ask stupid questions, LaRonde! Such a helpful young lad.
