I did that, the settings are fixed in the browser, but I still get the red render bar
and footage looks jittery in the browser.

Why that other project worked fine,
as I explained earlier.

Only thing different between those two projects is that problematic one has
psd file and another still.

When I was importing psd file I even tried to that correctly and created a file with HDTV setting.
Before that transferred layers from original psd file provided from client’s graphic “designer”, as I noticed some weird things, like vector graphics, just didn’t look right… I don’t know…

Then it stretches horizontalyy.

Dave, there is a new tread above about this issue “Does this BUG still exist in FCP 7?”.
Started it because no one was responding to this one, probably I put pretty lame title.

If you’d to chime in and catch up read the above tread.

Thanks

I noticed another thing, interestingly enough, the setting of offended clip are matching the settings
of STILL clips used in the project (see browser image).

That prompted me to try the same trick with my other 720p25 project (no stills used) – No Problems!
Exported QT file when reimported looks just fine, no render bars.

Is it possible that those stills are causing the problem, they are both “Square” pixels and one of them
is 128×720?

In QT?

I know how to “Show Clip Properties”, but where do I go to change them?

I didn’t understand you Rafael and I’m not sure if you understand me,
but I’ll try to attach the image of the browser:

The offending file is in blue “EquineQT”, the reimported Quick Time file.
Above it are the original files from P2 card, bellow are some stills and the Sequence.
You can see that Sequence and Clips are matching but the reimported file has
different Pixel Aspect ratio and (now I noticed) different Frame Size (although it looks good in both Viewer
and Canvas, I mean fits both windows).

Yes

No,the Pixel Aspect ratio is already HD (960×720) in original clips, in browser, and Sequence got
the same settings. You know, it’s that DVCPRO HD thing, like 1080 is not really 1920×1080,
but rather 1440×1080.

And when I import that QT back again, the Pixel Ratio is no more HD (960×720) – but comes as
Pixel Ratio “Square”, with red rendering bar when placed on the timeline.
Playing the clip itself in the Viewer it’s obvious that something’s wrong. Just soft and slightly jittery.

I know that, but I really need this.
I want to be able to use parts of the clips in other projects in the fiture,
it’s just ridiculous…
Or you are trying to tell me to give up?

Is it still present in FCP 7?

It looks like the link doesn’t work,
you can try this url without link:

Sorry, I was copying and pasting from another post, it’s DVCPRO HD,
as it says in the article (link provided)/

Thanks

I’m working in FCP 5.1 and QT is 7.6.6

Thanks Rafael.

What do you mean by “standard PAL interlaced” – TV?
If p25 is good for DVD, what’s then left, only TV…
