Here’s what I would do, after checking the original media to make sure it is clean. What are your export settings?

Because you are asking FCP to adjust the pixel aspect ratio of the clips, and to transcode the media, then also expect the export to take quite a while.

FCP will set the timeline settings according to the first clip you put in the timeline. Try this: Make a new project, add a 1920×1080 clip to the timeline and and then copy and paste the previous project next to the 1920×1080 clip. Then delete that first clip (because you are only using it to set the sequence settings). It will then render, then 1440×1080 clips to 1920×1080. When you export it will, transcode the codec.

Second thing to try is basically the same thing but with using XML magic. Export the XML. Open a new project and fix the settings by putting one clip in there then Import the XML.

You might even try: exporting the XML event, then use the other workflow you mentioned. Create a new project and import the XML.

Hope it helps!

Here’s a composite:

[Walter Soyka] “they think they have all the leverage they need to squeeze every last drop of profit from the creative community, and …

they actually believe that providing good products and integrated services to the creative community better meets the challenges of modern production than the current product-only model, and that by making a compelling offering at a fair price, people will actually be willing to pay for it.”

It’s industrialism 101. There’s a class of workers who require inputs to be productive. The supplier of those inputs controls prices. The reasonableness in a contemporary capitalist market system requires a fair price but also that the supplier has some capital at risk. In theory, Adobe could fire every single employee and dissolve the research and development teams, yet we could still rent their software in perpetuity for increasingly higher but reasonable rents.

QUESTION: [Richard Cardonna] “I ask myselfy what could be the ulterior motive to abandon tens of millions in potential income if not more. It just doesnt make sense”

ANSWER: Rentier Capitalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rentier_capitalism

Quoting, “he soon arrives to the understanding of capitalism as inherently built upon practices of usury and thus inevitably leading to the separation of society into two classes: one composed of those who produce value and the other, which feeds upon the first one.”

This thread is best of the cow. Lots to contemplate, here.

Haven’t tried it. But am always looking for input — and was hoping you had.

[tony west] “sometimes shooting flat from the start”

Both of those images look nice.

have you tried a ring light?

[Jeremy Garchow] “edit tool of choice and using Pr and all of its connections for the finish.”

Just to be clear: Are you organizing and editing in X. Then sending to Pr/AE for a finish? If so, how are you getting the X timeline into Pr?

Thanks!
