nah, still happens. I don’t really use it or have the need for it anyway. Dave, trashing preferences did work this time around.
Thanks all,

Thanks Dave.
I just reinstalled. Fixed now!

[Shane Ross] “What I would do, is make the main format the letterboxed format, and adjust the anamorphic to fit.”
I would do the same. Just leave the other footage alone and when you bring in the 16×9 footage (the full frame stuff) you can change the aspect ratio under the motion tab to -33. This will squish down the footage 33% on the y-axis. It should match the other letterboxed footage you have.
You will need to render this footage eventually, but you should be able to work with it in real time until the final layoff.

I don’t think there is. I have to do this sometimes and I just use the “select all tracks forward” tool “tttt” or Command+d and manually type in the offset. and repeat. 🙂

[Paul Jones] “Errr, not sure, don’t have great knowledge on alpha channels etc”
You need to. Google it.
JPEG does not support alpha channels, and even if the JPEG has no background at all besides for the logo, FCP is probably going to do something weird to the edges.
Do a little research. Then bring your logo into photoshop or whatever, make a .tif or .targa with alpha and bring back into FCP.
If it has a white or back background you could pull a luma key but really you should educate yourself on alpha channels first.
Best,

command+t I meant.

HD or SD?
Europe (and I’m pretty sure Japan too) are PAL. For SD you just produce your master in NTSC (unless you are starting off with PAL source material) and send to a post house for a PAL transfer.
With HD it could be any HD format out there. You would need to ask the client for specs.

You could also use a layer map within form.

Just curious, why do you need it anyway? The editor on the flame should be able to edit anywhere in his timeline…
