Dear Craig:

Thanks for all your input. I finally re-installed FCP and the problem disappeared. It now works perfectly.

I am going to do them 1 at a time.

Sorry. I hadn’t finished uploading the images. Here they are. Now I am no longer getting the dialogue box when everything is set to CBR but I still get the render line in the sequence. https://i1.creativecow.net/u/138095/sm/browser.jpghttps://i1.creativecow.net/u/138095/sm/sequencepresetcopy.jpghttps://i1.creativecow.net/u/138095/sm/easysetupcopy.jpg

Dear Craig:

Here are frame grabs of my Browser, easy setup and sequence preset. If I try to set them to CBR, I get the dialogue box again saying “For best results, sequence and clips must match etc.” Hope this tells you something.
Thanks again.

Yes, I did that but I still get the red render line. I have noticed that the seqence preset switches to “XDCAM HD 1080i 60 VBR at 18-35 Mb/s” although the clips are “XDCAM 422 1080i 60 VBR 50 Mb/s.” There is no exact match in the sequence presets that I can find. There is an “XDCAM HD422 1080i 60 CBR” but when I try that, I get the dialogue box again saying “For best results sequence and clip should match” and when I click OK, the sequence preset switches back to “XDCAM HD 1080i 60 VBR” again. Very frustrating! Could it have anything to do with the fact that I still have OS ver. 10.4.11? Or am using an iMac G5? Is there anyway to add sequence presets?

Thanks so much for your help.

Yes, I get that dialogue box but it still shows up in the sequence with the red render line above it. I used the easy set up that matches exactly the media and I still get the same results. Maybe I haven’t downloaded all the software I needed to? I downloaded XDCAM Transfer 2.9 and SxS Device Driver. Is there anything else I need?
Thank you for your advice.
