Thank Paul and Adam,
I have resolved the issue by buying whatsize.
The file was buried in volumes in a folder with the name of the external hard drive.
The mystery to me is why finder and sherlock failed to find the film with the correct name.
And Adam, Whatsize was a real whizz.
Thanks again.
I do have one more question.
I normally shoot in 4×3 on a panasonic dvx 100.
For my son’s school play I shot on anamorphic 16x 9 so I could coordinate my footage with another shooter.
I have managed to create the project and film on 16 and 9.
But when I try to re-export it to the camera to put it on tape, I find that it is coming out squeezed, despite adjusting the settings on teh camera to (either letter box or squeeze)
Any suggestions?
