Just solved the issue…..I think writing it out for this forum clears the mind. Created a new sequence with HD settings and pasted the rough cut, orange render bar but once rendered problem solved. Should have known better than clicking yes to match sequence settings…always creates issues…..so relieve I don’t have to start again!

Okay, problem solved. Just played with easy set up settings, got back to the initial setting and it miraculously worked…very strange, but glad it is solved.

Ok, great, thanks for that!

I was playing around with it this afternoon and realised when I clicked ok to the warning the problems started. Creating a new sequence does put things back to normal. But like you said I do have to render the clips that conflict with the setting.

I really appreciate your prompt and informative help. It is very stressful when you have a problem and you don’t have anyone that can help and you’ve hit a brick wall. This forum has helped me so my times I can’t count them all, this was the first time I posted a question and was so impressed with your quick and helpful responses.

Thanks again,

Loretta

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your response. All the clips are pretty similar in items properties, they are 4 in total so far and they are as follows;

Video Rate – all 25fps
Frame Size – all 720×576
Compressor – Animation, DV-Pal, H.264 and Animation
Data Rate – 20.6MB/G, 3.6. 1.1 and 3.3
Pixel Aspect – all Pal CCIR601
Field Dom – Upper, Lower, Upper/odd and Upper Odd

As for the Sequence Item Properties:

Video Rate – 25fps
Frame Size – 720×576
Compressor – H.264
Pixel Aspect – Pal CCIR601
Field Dom – Upper Odd
Audio – 2 Outputs
Audio Rate – 48 KHz
Audio Format – 32-bit Floating Point

So as I read it the differences are the Compressor, Data Rate and
Field Dominance. I don’t know what this means though. I’ve completed the Apple Certified Pro course and I am at a loss? It is obviously something to do with the clips being different, they were all created by me in FCP6 and exported as Quicktime movies, so I don’t know why they aren’t combatible, when I re-import them.

Kind regards,

Loretta
