Hi David,

I checked the above but all the numbers look okay.

I’ve determined that the green line at the bottom edge of my video only shows up when I am applying a color or density correction of some sort. How can I apply color correction (Color Corrector 3 way in FCP) and not get a bright lime green line (2 pixels wide) at the bottom of my video that only appears when I’m using a custom sequence?

Thanks again for your help!
Bryan

[David Battistella] “Create a custom sequence in final cut pro and make it the size of the banner. (apple KEY “0” (zero)) will do this.

When you drop the shot into the sequence you can arrange how you want it to fall into that timeline.

David,

Thank you so much! Worked great. I am, however, getting a very thin green line across the very bottom edge of the exported video. Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Bryan

Thanks for your reply! Not sure that I understand though. I’m using FCP5 so it can edit HDV in a native format. I just want to be able to convert the 16:9 HDV material into 4:3 SD without squeezing the image to fit in the frame causing distortion. Cropping sounds as if it might be right. How can I crop a 16:9 image in FCP into 4:3?

Thanks,
Bryan
