[Simon Modery] ” I guess you need a VFX guy/student to help you out.”
With DPs that leave things to be fixed in post and students, to fix the things that the DPs didn’t made in prod I don’t think Jordan gonna go to far.

Without having a look to the picture is impossible to know what is the problem and to suggest a solution.

[Julie Turner] “hen combine them in AE for 3840×1080 (if it works).”
No problem with the size.

[Julie Turner] “ack, looks like FCPx can’t do a custom sequence size, is that right? There are more and larger options (up to 5k), but the ‘custom’ option doesn’t allow me to enter my own dimensions. Am I missing something?”
You are right.
FCPX is more standard centered than FC and doesn’t allows to work with custom sizes.
As Michael points, if you have access to PP you can try exporting an XML.
Also, if you have access to AE, you can try to send your sequence there with Automatic Duck or the Pop corn Island script.

FC do not support sizes bigger than 2K.
Try sending to Motion and export from there. It might work.

“Save as..” is not the way to go. That can only save the files as a Reference or Self-contained movies, but always with the same parameters of the original movie. It would only change the MKV container for a QT one.
You need to “Export”.
If you don’t have the Export option, is because for whatever reason the PRO is not activated in QT Player.
Anyway, Prores is an option only if you have FC.6 or newer installed.

As has been said by Shane and Chad, is a problem with the poor capability of FC for color managing and QT for color space flagging, but in fact is one of the few quality cross-platform options.
Applications like AE or FCPX should manage it without problems.

Lot of room for virtual memory.
Your system might need a bit of maintenance: Repairing permissions, rebuilding directories (DiskWarrior),..

[Dominic Deacon] “Surely the moderators aren’t so slack around these parts that we have to self moderate?”
COW Forums have no moderators, and I agree that this is the correct forum to talk about whatever subject relevant to video editors in general most of all in a time of changes like the one we are living now.
