    Final Cut Pro - Help

    Hi all.

    Got a small (MAJOR) problem.

    I've been on FCP for a while now and so far so good. However last night I ran into a tiny (MAJOR) problem.

    Sometimes, if I bring in HD footage and drop it into a sequence it asks me if I want my sequence settings to match the clip settings. I click "yes" and everything is good.

    Sometimes it doesn't do this because for whatever reason the settings are already matched up.

    Last night it didn't ask, and I edited a whole scene. The preview window looked like it was low quality which I figured was done by FCP to play the HD footage back at real time. It's never had a problem doing that before but I figured since Vegas had that option FCP did too.

    So I checked the sequence settings and saw they were set to standard def. I changed them to Hi Def which resized the preview window... but not the footage. The clips are displaying at SD and the frame size is HD. I can't seem to do anything to get them back up to normal HD size.

    Any ideas? All help is GREATLY appreciated.

    I've tried making a new sequence, and copying and pasting the clips from the messed up sequence, but the HD footage comes in as SD. Basically nothing changes.

    When I drag the clip from the bin into the new (proper) sequence it's HD. if I drag the same clip into the messed up sequence it displays as SD.

    Help...

      Can you import the hd footage, and do a replace clip/footage as in with premiere?

        I'll try that... however it doesn't seem to wanna replace it if it's still on the machine.

          have you tried going into the Motion settings and just scaling your clips up?

              problem with that is the deinterlacing issues. This is for a DVD.
