I am not bashing final cut and I apologize if it sounds as if I am I am just have a very matter of fact way of speaking which I realize, if I am not in your esteem can be taken the wrong way. I am also quite stressed out about a deadline that I will be unable to meet on a project that has been a comedy of errors at pretty much everly level. Add in technology problems that were installed by a professional and you can see my overall frustration.

it was installed correctly as we just got these two computers a month a go. they are completely speced out top of the line Mac Pros with 2×2.93 quads 32 gigs of ram NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB (we are waiting on the 1 gig cards to arrive) We should not be having these type of issues. And it is interesting that you say you have not had a problem with it as you seem to be in the minority. Everyone I talk to about this and even the shop I worked in before I came here had a lot of problems with it.

at this point it does not matter as FCP has completely screwed the pouch. But no, the stills were converted into footage by some F-tard intern from the client that made project file of which was wrong. When I started it it was about 3rd on my list of priorities and I did not notice the discrepancy until about two days into the actual edit. At which point we made the wrong decision and pressed on thinking that we would just up res everything later… Either way it does not matter as final cut is giving me error messages such as being out of memory which is not possible in any way shape or form. Or my new favorite “The codec you are using is unrecognizable. You do not have the hardware card needed for this codec.” That codec by the way is Apple Pro Res 422… So at this point the only thing I can do is reinstall final cut and hope it will export. as at this point it refuses to even do that. which is mind boggling as we sent an export of the project to london a day and a half ago with no issues.

I should also note that it was turned into “footage” but in the wrong aspect ratio.. I should have been more clear.

there is no original footage. It is stop motion shot on the 5D. so it is just stills. they want it 16:9.

It was a sequence setting that was wrong. The funny thing is occurred to me as soon as I hit send. The problem was the client gave me the project and said it was set correctly in the sequence and I made the mistake of not checking it. She did not realize that 720 was the last number in the ratio not the first as she had it set up. so we can forget this question was ever asked… But thanks for the responses.
