I was experiencing similar problems with Final Cut Pro- black screen on canvas while only hearing audio. Turning off “Wire Frame Only” solved my problem! I almost went through the hassle of re-loading FCP etc. until I came across your post.
Thanks!

Although I still had a couple hundred GB of space, I received this error in Final Cut. The solution was to delete the render files associated with the sequence in question. Thanks!

First you need to look at how you are projecting the video. Will it be HD or SD? You should edit your sequence in the perspective format. If SD, do not use DV! You will get jitter and resolution loss. For SD projection I use DVCPro 50 Anamorphic preset for the timeline. Rendering will take longer than DV but the video will look much better.
Your photos do not need to be huge! Standard def is something like 72 dpi, so save yourself the heart ache and rendering woes by importing something usable. If you are doing moves or fitting the picture, bump up the res. (maybe 150 dpi?)
For importing, create a folder on a hard drive with nothing in it. Most likely the picts will be .jpg. Place all photos into the folder. Rotate if needed using a pic. program. If you have an order for the pics, re-name them using a “0” first and then numerically in the order you want them. In fcp, set your import / still settings to a time you can work with, ie, 3 seconds. You can then import the entire folder, grab all the photos and insert into your DVCPro 50 anamorphic timeline. All photos will be placed sequentially to how you numbered them and at the desired length (ie. 3 sec.).
Sometimes fcp can’t handle the whites and mids like photoshop etc. You may want to color correct by pulling the mids or whites down occationally to what looks best. I usually get more detail out of old photos this way.
Good luck!
