After copy/pasting, selct all the clips and use the Remove Attributes command to remove all the resizing FCP did to make it the PAL frame size.
Unfortunately, this will remove all your resizing…so if you did it for effect, you will have to re-do it. But its better than re-editing the whole film.
Not sure what FCP did to your audio…if it adjusted the speed, you can remove that adjustment in the same way.

A couple of things…
Your video does not need to be converted to 29.97 for an NTSC DVD. Many ‘Hollywood’ DVD’s are 23.976. All DVD players add pulldown on the fly for viewing on a 29.97 monitor.
Even if you did convert your video…assuming you added the pulldown correctly to get to 29.97, your audio should still be in sync. 23.976 and 29.97 are compatible with each other. True 24 fps is not…it is with 24fps that you need to pull up the audio.
Note that FCP and its documentation uses the shorthand term 23.98 fps, however in reality it is 23.976. If your material somehow is actually 24 fps or 23.98 fps (I mean really 23.98…not 23.976) this might be the cause of your problem. It will also be a problem if your pulldown was added improperly during the conversion. Just leave everything at 23.98 and you will be fine. No need to be going through this at all.

i have seen this too. I usually just use the crop controls in the motion tab to eliminate it.

Try exporting the project as XML and then importing that into the new project

You need to be selecting the clip in a SEQUENCE. If you are selecting a clip in a bin or the viewer it won’t work…is that what you are doing ?
If you want to do this with a clip not currently edited into a sequence, just open it directly in STP.

[Kris Anderson] “Actually it can, using the Pan & Zoom tool. Using the ultra HQ render setting it looks just as good as an AE export, if not better ‘cos you don’t have to leave Avid to do it.
“If you actually read my post you would see I did recommend the Avid Pan and Zoom tool. I was referring to the “regular” import process, which the original poster was attempting, which will not work.

Have you contacted Red Giant….this seems to be a Magic Bullet problem
If you bought their software, you have a right to some tech support from them.

Avid cannot import images larger than your project resolution.
You get around this by using the Avid Pan and Zoom plugin. Basically, the important image becomes a place holder you apply the Pan and Zoom plugin to. You then manipulate the full resolution file using the Pan and Zoom plug in. It has limitations…most importantly…no rotation.
A plugin called Moving Picture from Stagetools, does a better job and offers the rotation option. And a timeline based interface…while still remaining in the Avid application.
You can also, do it in AE, as Grinner suggested, if you don’t mind leaving the Avid application.

Dennis, I said this before, but it might have gotten lost in the thread…
FCP guesses the field order of your footage, but sometimes gets it wrong…not totally surprising with an old legacy codec like yours.
Check to see whether FCP has automatically place a “Shift Fields” filter on your clips. If so, try removing it and see if it helps. if it hasn’t try adding it to one of your clips and see if it helps.

select all the clips in the timeline, then use the Reconnect Media command (right click).
When it asks you to find the media, do so and everything in the sequence should reconnect.
