i’ve had this same thing, but the only time i ever go down to 320×240 is when i post to the web. the funny thing is, when you play those same quicktime videos (without any of the properties changed) on the web, the black bars are gone. they are also gone in MPEG Streamclip, so i’m only guessing that it’s once again, another quicktime bug.

this is what i figured. i’m sure it’s setup like this, as to avoid grabbing the clip “101_A_02” from one of four other projects I have going. I just wish there were a way to have it jump folders though. i’ve already ended up moving them to solve the problem, but thanks for the input!
cheers,

Thanks for the post Rafael,
QT does have it’s wonderful issues, but I still feel like the issue with FCP and the non-sync issue is no small one, especially considering the platform of which FCP runs, is off of QT. Since the post I made, I’ve found some 20 clips that have the same issue. So right now, I’m having to check each one, export the non-synced ones, and then re-import and relink the clips.

Overall, none of this is a huge issue by any means because there is a workaround, but there’s obviously something going on in FCP/QT. This may be just one of those bugs that I have to write off, or that my version of QT isn’t playing nice with my flavor of FCP/OSX/The Voodoo Barbie that lives inside my tower, but my nature is that if there’s a problem, I want to find out what’s causing it and how things work to fix the problem. Hopefully, with the goal of recognizing it in the future and preventing/troublshooting things at that point. Quite honestly, this is the only thing that has kept me my job in the past.

Anyways, thanks for the input Rafael, as this was my first post and I was wondering if anyone would respond. So, cheers! For anyone else out there, any other insights/input are greatly appreciated!
