Question answered. Not a technique I’d use but to each his own.

Shift-I Control-V Shift-O Control-V drag up a track.

What I’m curious about is why you’re doing this?

Is the video running fast? Also make sure the canvas in the 59.94 sequence has timecode set to 60 at 30.

Turn on title safe and you’ll see the little tick marks that indicate safe areas for 4:3.

You’re uprezing in FCP. Don’t do this. FCP doesn’t do this very well. Use a dedicated application.

You can set in preferences FCP to auto scale to fit when you place a clip into the timeline, in fact that’s the default behavior in the current version.

All the best,

Get Magic Bullet’s Instant HD. Forget about trying to upres using an FCP export.

It’s set up right if you want a widescreen output.

Your sequence is 720×480 anamorphically squeezed. For display on the web or a computer, which do not understand anamorphic media, when you export you have to set the size to a widescreen aspect ratio like 853×480. Your images are taller than they are wide so you probably have some pillarboxing in the canvas, black on the left and right. I’m not sure if you really need a widescreen project for these images, or whether you’d be better off with 4:3.

All the best,

Tom
