Seriously? What is the multi-cam thing for in FCP then? Maybe this is just me confused/inexperienced, but I thought multi-cam meant it could accept a feed from more than one camera?
Shane – as to your comment. I just called Black Magic and he said their driver allows the system to recognize up to eight cards, but there is no application to their knowledge that will. Hence affirming what you said.
But if FCP can’t do it this is all mute anyway. BUMMER. Does anyone know of software that will accept more than one camera feed via HDMI?

I don’t have that luxury. I’m recording calls with multiple presenters and each of them shares their screen at different sizes.

Now that’s the info that clears the fog! Thanks for that! So am I safer keeping them at both even dimensions? Like 854×644 as opposed to 853×644? Is there some type of calculation I can perform before recording these?

Thanks man. That’s actually what I tried as it seemed logical, but it cropped mine a bit. Doesn’t seem to do the math exactly.
Oh well….I’ve resorted to applying the FX I need in the FCP timeline and then straight from the timeline to Compressor (FCP will not export a QT without the errors). Compressor finishes, bring the clip back into the time with the FX rendered it in. Voila.
Freaking insane, but it’s working.

Thanks man. I did add the custom padding, but it just isn’t working. It will take less time to replay them on my system and recapture from scratch.
This is crazy. Is there any FCP codec that will let me bring in weird sizes without doing this? I might as well be using iMovie for this stuff. It is a sad day.

Okay, I’m getting nowhere real fast. Cannot figure out how to force Compressor to pad correctly. It is stretching/cropping/destroying. Any tips? Thanks!

Really weird sizes – 1658 x 851 for example. Another one is 1438×823.

Yeah, I understand (didn’t know this before).
The problem is I’ve already captured a bunch of screen tutorials in odd frame sizes. So since ProRes will not be happy with them, what is my option? Right now I’m sending everything through Compressor and changing the codec to H.264 to see if that will work. But really have no idea….
