just solved the problem by exporting in AIC60 (apple intermediate codec 60). yay for not recapturing!

halelujah! i pick up on things slow but “removing attributes” was indeed my main problem. I have exported everything with the necessary formatting: 1440x1080i AIC50 and everything looks good EXCEPT
THEIR IS THEIR WEIRD BLACK FLICKER EVERY 5-10 seconds. its not consistent. i checked the timeline and pre-export their is no flicker! i’ve exported other movies with just one layer of audio and one layer of audio and their is no flicker. now with this particular video where i’m dealing with 5-10 levels of audio and video i get the flicker. The flicker is about the lengths of a single frame. is it a dropped frame happening in the export?

okay, after adjsuting the sequence settings appropriately. i was able to export several mini tests that worked well! i sent them to compressor without a problem and they are now set up in DSP ready for project completion. However, the beef of the project is my 16 minutes wedding highlight video.
i finished the 4 hour exporting the 6 minute video from FCP and found out that i hadn’t changed the sequence settings after all. After i nawed the frustration out of my keyboard, i got back to work, changed the sequence setting and now the picture seems streched again. this time, it doesn’t seem to make sense though. the footage is 1440 x 1080i at 29.97 fps captured in AIC50 format. I adjust the sequence settings to match just that and it is, indeed stretched and about 1/3 of the size of the canvas instead of filling it to the edges like it was with the other sequences that were adjusted accordingly.
what am i doing wrong?! this is due tomorrow and i’ve been working on this project for the past 48 hrs!

The format the original footage was captured in as apple intermediate codec using the HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i 50 setting (according to a friends advice) – the description of that setting in Easy Set up says that:
when working with apple intermediate codec 1080i 50 source material and using firewire for input/output of audio and video with device control set to Sony HDV 1080i50 FireWireMy CAMERA is a sony HVR-A1U set in HD 1080i capture from mini DVD with firewire 400.
i don’t know how my sequence setting were turned to DV/DVCPRO-HD 23.97 fps because all of my footage was as captured in the format as described above

i’m contiuning my journeuy here and now dealing with different settings in sequence. i have the frame size set at 1440 x 1880 and the pixel aspect ratio set at 960×720 because that is what seems to fit the fram best. now what do i set the compressor at?

great. what no brainer. i captured the footage a while ago and wonder i their was another snag in capturing that i can’t remember…will go that route next time.
by the way, as a self-taught FCP user i’m not well versed in all the functions and way around. how would i change the sequence attributes?

where would i go to adjust settings in FCP? when i go to log and capture, communication is set up but no video shows up. There is video playback however on the camera screen so footage is ok. is this a setting issue of the camera or a setting in FCP that i must adjust? or somethign different…. i’m entering into foreign territory here.
