Ok, I guess I didn’t give enough information. I’m on FCP 6.0.5 which automatically switches sequence settings to match the first clip added to it. In my case it’s 1080i HDV, as the footage I’m working with was shot with the one of the Sony HDV cameras, I’m not sure of the exact camera model. The drives are as follows: 640gb drive in “bay 1” that contains the OS, FCP, etc. This drive has no media. 1TB drive in “bay 2” that contains all of my media. Just for an experiment I created a new project and imported all the media from an external G-raid2 drive connected via firewire800. I got the same exact results.
