I did the exact same roll before, but it was a few seconds different. So maybe if I change the spacing or length just a bit, it will hit that sweet spot and wobble less.
I am seeing this when I view it on a TV or projected.
I may try the CHV filters, as I have had goo dluck with them.
Thanks

To clarify what I meant by “not filling the frame….” I have tried various sequence presets in FCP. When I import the 9×16 video that was shot then drop it in the timeline, it is the right shape (9×16) but surrounded by black on all sides. I’d say it is about 1/3 or 1/4 smaller than the preset 9×16 frame. If I Scale to Sequence it enlarges to full-frame top to bottom, but still has thin black bars left and right.

P.S.: The video guys shot my footage on an Ikegami.

Andrew,
Thanks forf the tip. Is there any way that you know of adding in multiple transitions once the clips are already on a timeline? I have added the same filter to all of them, but cannot seem to find anyway (like a “select all”) to do so. I would ideally like to lay in a bunch of clips(actually still photos), put a cross-dissolve on them all, and then tweak their location and timing to the music.
Probably can’t be done, but thought I’d see.
Thanks again.

ANdrew,
I can’t answer your question, but perhaps you can answer mine…
HOW DO YOU add a transition to multiple sequential clips? I often make shows thare basically slide shows. I line them up and want to add a dissolve to all of them at once. Other than option-dragging a dissolve one-by-one, I don’t know how to do it to say 30 at a time. I’d love to. What do you do?

Yes, I am THE Todd Gipstein, still working with stills, and also some video. Still making multi-image shows, more or less, but doing it in Final Cut. Actually off to a festival in Italy where the show mostly good old M-I and are honoring me with two nights of my MI shows for National Geographic (where I have worked for almost 18 years).
WIth Kodak E3s, I ALWAYS knew what resolution to use. Never rendered a thing. Ane there never were manuals to read.
But seriously, even the FCP manual seems very vague on any number of things. I have been using it for 4-5 years now and get very nice looking DVDs. Still, I am not sure that I couldn’t do better.
Take a look at my website http://www.gipstein.com to see what I am up to.
And, anyway, which codec WOULD look best???

I have 2 LaCie Firewire 800s as well as a LaCie 250 all daisy-chained together and have had no problems with them on the G5. I am about to add another LaCie 200 extreme drive. According to one guy at my local Apple store, you can daisy chain up to 60 devices on a Firewire link… though you might have to build an addition to the studio to house them.
