Max,
Take your imported “.mov” and open it in the viewer. click the “motion tab” and open the “distort” tab. in the Aspect ratio enter “-33.33”.
This should give you your letterbox. then export you file again. check it with Quicktime and it should be correct.
good luck!

Bill,
I haven’t had to do this in a while. But, I believe you have to capture your material using the DVCPro HD 720/60p codec. In the capture settings.Billy Stuart

Tangier,
The first thing I do is is go to the menu Final Cut Pro>User Prefrences>Audio Outputs.
If there is a preset for 4channel output great, click on the column to the left of the preset you want to use. You should get a Check mark. If you do not have a 4 channel pre-set, duplicate a 2 channel pre-set and at the output tab select 4. This will add another grouping below, you can then change the 1&2 grouping to Mono and leave the 3&4 grouping in Stereo. Give it a new Name and discription and hit ok. Now, make sure it has the check mark next to the new pre-set and click ok.The trick now is to create a new Sequence and Copy and Paste the original timeline into the new one.
I would also double checkthe new sequence’s settings, Sequence>Settings>audio output, to see that the same preset is checked there.
You should now be able to play out channels 1&2 mono ( 1 to 1 and 2 to 2) and channels 3&4 stereo.
I do not have a BlackMagic decklink card so I don’t know if there are any adjustments you will have to do there.There maybe a faster way but that is the only way I have been able to do this.
good luck!

Susan,
Walter is correct, use the insert edit. This is how I would set it up.
Drag the clip bin into a timeline. Then load the Slug into the viewer, and give it a 1 second duration. Go to the first transition in your timeline and use the “F9-Insert Edit” key. If you than use the “arrow down – Next transition” key, and insert edit with the “F9” key again. Repeat this to your hearts content, and you should be able to move through the timeline faster.Billy Stuart

Check out “FCP Manual-Device control presets-Default Timecode” Part IV, page 326.
If you use the FCP help manual, page 1677.This may help.
Good luck!Billy Stuart

Hi Keith,
I have noticed that when you go to “edit to tape” the default time for the tape is Drop Frame. Are you using Non Drop Timecode? If you play your tape first so it recognizes the type of time code that’s present on the tape. You should get the proper in point when you enter it. This is basicly what you are doing when it doesn’t work and you retype the in point in again.
Good Luck!

Yes, we use an “EZ Keyboard”. It has all the correct keycaps. We got them awhile back, but if you do a google you should find a distributor. Check out Ken Stone’s site also https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/review_post_op.html
good luck
