The sequence settings have to be set to 1920×1080 and ProRes LT codec since my other 2 cameras are in that codec and I have to do a multi-camera edit. Is there a better way to add DVCPRO HD footage into a ProRes timeline without stretching the dimensions or is the way I’ve stated the best way?

Ok. Is there an easier way to get the footage to 1920×1080 without stretching out the pixels? Or even to have it ingest as the settings I chose it to: ProRes 422 (LT)? It appears FCP is bypassing the preferences section for transferring DVCPRO HD footage.

Nevermind…figured it out. Had to simply pick whip the layer’s “source text”…not the file name.

thisComp.layer("LAYER NAME").text.sourceText

I get this error all the time and I know exactly why it happens (at least on my system). Do you have two external (or internal) hard drives named EXACTLY the same? I have two externals named exactly the same since I was planning on doing a sync’d backup…but then I needed the extra space, so I use both now. When having both drives turned on I get the error all the time. It’s because they’re named the same so After Effects doesn’t know which drive you’re talking about.

I hope that helps.
