Shane –
Thanks for your reply. I know it’s mysterious. It was baffling to me. I had worked on a previous timeline and was doing motion tests on some stills. The next time I opened FCP and double clicked on an clip (a jpeg) what I was looking at in the viewer was an extreme c/u of a portion of the jpeg.
I’ve sort of got that figured out (sort of!) and now am trying to determine if I should request all of these stills in png format instead of jpeg as when I apply motion there is some pixelation and artifacts.
Again, many thanks. I did watch the tutorial and found it immensely beneficial to the overall project.
