I used to do it all the time in my Powermac G5. What are your capture settings?

Make sure the logo is in RGB mode (in Photoshop)
Try, in FCP. with the image selected in your timeline, go to Modify>Alpha TYpe and see if it’s set to none/ignore. If so, change that setting.
If that doesn’t work, let us know.

Well I find that when I work in FCP with projects of different settings, it will respect the current settings of each project (only when you make a new sequence with the current settings be applied, which I think happend in your case).
But try this: Select a video clip and go to Modify> Conform to sequence…
OR
Make a new sequence place a video clip in the sequence. If the settings don’t match, FCP will ask if you want to change the sequence settings to match your clip settings. Say yes. Then copy and paste your clips into the new sequence. Then do the Conform to sequence and indicated above.

you have to render… That’s all it means.
If your clips have no effects to them, no crops, in other words if you haven’t touched the clips, the clip settings don’t match to your sequence settings.

well… this is a shot in the dark, but is your original graphic vector?
If not, there is another way, but it isn’t pretty most of the time,
especially if your graphic is of too low resolution.Command click your layer. Go to the Paths menu. Click the little arrow and select “Make Work Path”. Then play around with your tolerance. using a tolerance of .5 will get you a more accurate path but with a lot more points. A tolerance of 2 will get a smoother path, but a lot less accurate.
Good luck.

Are there brushes or special effects? If so, you need to expand all brushes and outlines before merging anything. AND if you do expend brushes, you need to go to Object>Path>Clean up to delete paths with no fill or outline so you don’t get ugly results with the next step.
Then go to your pathfinder and combine the paths… I don’t know if in the new Illustrator you have to expand the paths… In the version I use, I select the combine path and hold the option key concurrently so it expands at the same time it combines.
Capish?

If you read the licensing rules of most stock image sites they specifically state against the use of RF imagery/illustration in logos. Making a logo of pre-made illustrations is not exactly creating your own ideas.

Making commercials for a client with locations in various states, I do this all the time since we need to add various endings.
Just make sure you have your work in its own sequence, then make a new sequence and drag the sequences into you new sequence. Just make sure to set the in and out points in each sequence…
You will need to re-render audio most likely… at least some parts of it. and make sure you render your final mix down too.

Perhaps the background color is set to white. Make sure you have black selected as your background color….
