I see. Thanks guys!

It’s iPhone footage that MPEG Streamclip lists as 29.975. I’ve never seen that frame rate before. Maybe it’s really just 29.97, but either way I find it strange that FCPX converts it to 30.

When I open the transcoded files in MPEG Streamclip and click “show stream info” it says 30fps there too. So is FCPX somehow changing the metadata to say 30fps even though it’s 29.97? I understand that FCP would list it as 30, but I find it strange that another program would also list it as 30.

I think the problem is that the 720×480 sequence is using non-square pixels, and when I put that sequence in a 1920×1080 sequence, it thinks the pixels are square. I tried it again using a different pixel aspect ratio and this time there were black bars on the sides but it was still stretched too much. Then I did I exported it again the same way as the first time and for some reason it works now. Now idea why. I’ll just chalk it up to FCP 7 being buggy on Yosemite. 🙂

Does it matter what the frame rate of the text is?

I was able to successfully install Andy’s elastic aspect. Wow! That thing is amazing. Just what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks guys! Wow, that elastic aspect feature is cool! Never heard of it before. That’s great that you can select a portion of the frame that doesn’t get stretched. I’ll see if I can find it for FCP7. I have FCPX too, so if I can’t do it in 7 I’ll do it in X and then import the clips into 7.

Transcoding them to DVCpro or any other codec doesn’t work. I just get black video. Maybe the fact that Streamclip can’t even play them means that I have to use a different program to convert them.

I believe the codec of the AVI files is H.264. In Streamclip it doesn’t list the codec for some reason, but in another program I have called Pavtube iMedia Converter, it lists it as H.264. This program also allows me to convert the files to ProRes, but I don’t fully trust this program. I’ve had issues with the color of certain files being different from the originals, so I prefer to transcode in Streamclip in possible.
The AVI files are 1024×576, 29.97 fps, mp3 audio. I want to convert them to ProRes with the same dimensions.

In MPEG Streamclip they’re white, but just a portion of the screen is white. It looks the same as when you open up the application but there’s a white rectangle in the upper left corner. They don’t even play in Streamclip but they play fine in VLC.
