The length of your clip is irrelevant. It’s how much you have left before and after your cut that counts. If either clip only has 16 frames of handles, this is what will happen.
Try moving your cut…

If the file looks fine on an external video monitor, then you will be OK. What you are describing sounds like interlacing. It can appear as jagged lines on you computer monitor, especially where there is a lot of movement.
Check it on a video monitor to be sure.

Instead of dragging to the timeline, drag to the canvas window and hold – you’ll get a bunch of options, including “Overwrite with transition”. This lays your clips in a row and adds the deafult transition on the video track. Not sure about the audio…

Always dupe the sequence before you start mucking around with settings!
Change the sequence settings to 16:9, then drag and select all the video clip son the timeline, opt-click Remove Attributes.
This will bring up a dialog box, asking you which attributes to remove. Select Distort (from memory…) and apply. This should arc everything back to 16:9…

I am often going back toold material, so in addition to archiving material to tape, I also try and keep either a Media-Managed copy of the cut (ie no rushes, just the clips used), or do a flattened Quicktime of the cut and archive it onto a removable drive.

Could be a corrupt project file – try looking in your Autosave Projects folder and opening up one of the more recent ones. It may not be 100% up to date, but it may save you some time getting back to where you are.
And if you can free up space it’s always a good idea. If you’ve been working on this machine up until now, I doubt it’s your processing power.

In your Generators, you will find a Timecode Reader that youc an drop on to your clip. It will read the source tc and create a burn-in.

You could knock the cross up pretty quick in photoshop, leaving the video area as transparency, and then import straight into FCP – that would work.
If you wanted to keep it all in FCP, you could nest two black color mattes on top of each other, then crop one to be a thin vertical line, the other a thin horizontal line, and voil

Hey Nathan,
I can’t seem to get your photobucket link to work…
If all else fails, you could always build a black cross mask to overlay all the nests and create your black borders, that way it won’t matter if they align perfectly or not…
What you’re doing should be working, though…

Also worth noting is the “Make Movie Self-Contained” checkbox on the Export QT Movie setting. Unchecked, your export will be lightning fast, but completely useless if you take your exported file away from your rushes. The file still point sto the original material.
Make sure it’s checked if you need to distribute the file.
