Thanks for your suggestion and I will follow your advice. My concern and reason for posting was to solve this problem/issue which doesn’t make sense to me and will cause further problems at later stages.

Hi and thanks for your reply.

I’ve reduced the pixel count/matte size to 300×300 (solid black) which presents itself as a black square overlaid on top of the duplicated video layer beneath it.

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks to everyone who has left comment

I will go through each tape and apply your parameters, comments and suggestions

I understand that there isn’t a ‘magic bullet’ fix, but I appreciate all of your input.

Cheers and Lovely …

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.

I’m away from my equipment at the moment but I will follow your advice as soon as I get back to it.

Many thanks again,

Brendan

Hi

That’s great ! at least I will get to save a version of it.

The quality isn’t fantastic – is there a QT self contained setting you could recommend that I use ?

Not to worry if not and thanks again (to you both) for your feedback, much appreciated …

EDIT : It’s ok, if I change it to any other setting I loose the ‘missing’ footage clips from my sequence, thanks

Thank you for your advice, but I’m still having difficulty.

Turning on the FCP project, it begins with a warning box stating that

“Some files went offline – Some of the media your project references have either changed, moved, or gone away. You can either reconnect these files, or continue with them being online”

I can no longer find the corresponding files to reconnect so I have to choose continue which leaves the big ‘Media Offline’ clips throughout the sequence.

I’ve found the final cut thumbnail cache and trashed them, but am still left in the same position as before : having a sequence that is missing sequences on the timeline (with corresponding red line through the thumbnail list top left)

What is so frustrating is that somehow the project is still able to be viewed in its entirety but only in the canvas box – have you anymore suggestions please ?

Many thanks …

[Brendan Tyler]

sorry, my mistake

hello Shane

thanks for that, very helpful

thanks again
