i tried all that and nothing worked. but i did get it work. there was an audio clip at the beginning of the sequence that i had copied and pasted, to get some more nat sound under the opening credits. i removed that audio clip, rerendered everything and it is now fine. not sure why, but it works.

that’s good to know. so if i’m working in an HD sequence with sequence settings of 960x720HD, does that mean that i should not import any PS file with pixel dimensions exceeding 1920?

thanks, will do.
on more question, in the sequence settings, which box should be checked for rendering:
– Always render in RGB
– Render in 8-bit YUV
– Render 10-bit material in high-precision YUV
– Render all YUV material in high precision YUV

hi michael, i tried copying the edit into a ProRes 422 sequence, with 1280×1080 HD setting, and “best” motion rendering. but the images actually look a little worse now. lots of flicker around the edges and lines. the strange thing is that when an image is scaled/zoomed in on in the timeline, the quality looks much better. it’s only when the image gets closer to “normal” size that it falls apart.

chris, i’m not sure what you mean when you say “still images really large don’t look as good having them @ 20-30% in timeline”. right now, my images are pretty large so when they are in the timeline, their scale is about 20-30%.

thanks for that advice, michael. i’m back home from my office now but i’ll try copying the edit into a ProRes 422 (1280×720) sequence first thing tomorrow AM. the footage was shot on the Panasonic at 960×720 60p. will FCP ask me to change the sequence settings to 960×720 (to match the footage) when i paste the edit into it? and if so, i assume i should click “no”?
