Try doing it from MPEG Streamclip as a batch. Probably won’t help though.
It sounds like your files might be corrupt. Usually in this situation I will panic a little, then try every possible transcoding tool I have. Something will eventually work.
-
Yeah, this would be a good time for more info.
How/where are you hosting it?
What format are you planning to use?
Is the video going to be scaled from it’s original size?
Any other relevant info?I have specific answers to all these.

More info needed.
If you open an FCP6 project in FCP7 does the audio drift? If not, then does the same footage drift in a new project?
Also, have you installed the updates?

For the truly intrepid, I would look into automating this in AE. You can set it to import, add the bug, render, etc. automatically through your batch. Also, if you have cs5 than it should be able to utilize more than 4gigs of RAM.
If you did get a 2nd computer, then you could set it up like a render farm using AE.
This might need a custom script, I don’t know. I’ve never automated something like this.
Good luck.

Yeah, this is one of those cases where FCP’s sense of logic makes no sense, so I think most of us just avoid manually setting the distort.
It’s usually easier to set your resolution manually and ‘conform to sequence.’

Frame controls generally only deals with frame rate and interlacing issues. In the geometry tab you can control the resolution and pixel aspect ratio.
Just make sure it’s set to 1920×1080 and square pixel.
The only problem I see with editing these two formats together is the interlacing. What is your final delivery format?
-
There is no logical reason to assume that any compression tool will get you better results than others. Your work flow and your codec/settings are what matters.
Honestly you’re not going to get it much smaller than what you exported from AE with the Animation codec.
-
Have you tried using the media manager. I’ve never done it with RED footage, but that is typically how you would do that type of transfer.
-
Also, keep in mind it probably won’t appear that way on a broadcast monitor. If your final delivery is for web, it will though.

This didn’t work on my end. It definitely has something to do with the highly saturated red and NOT the alpha channel. I would look for a photoshop filter or trick to simplify the color data without changing it visually.
Good luck on that.
