How Do I Change My Sequence Settings to Match My Clip

Hello -
I shot some footage in SD with a frame size of 16:9. When I dragged a clip into my first sequence, FCP asked 'if I wanted the Sequence to assume the properties of the clip?' I hit 'yes' which changed the sequence to match my clip. However, when I created a new sequence(in the same project) and dragged a clip into it, FCP did not prompt me with the option to change the sequence settings. Now, I have a 4:3 sequence with a letterbox 16:9 clip. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks for your help!

Please Help! I created a PP file on a Mac and need to finish it on a PC? How do I change the sequence settings? Cross-platform usage??

I need to know this as soon as possible. How do I allow this file to work on a PC. Thanks

Yes I opened it and it said "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
So what I did is open a new file, clicked Import, clicked on the project I've been trying to open and imported the selected sequences, since it wouldn't let me import the whole project. Now all the clips are in a bin, but how do I put it on my timeline as if it were the whole project I was working on? If I select the imported file, the clips appear on the timeline all scrambled and just as that, clips. Essentially I have clips but need the sequence (project) I had created.

"Change sequence settings to match clip settings"

Hi - I seem to have lost this prompt!!
Before when I bring a clip into a sequence with a different codec, FCP would ask me if I would like to change the sequence settings to match the clip settings..
I used to love this feature because it meant I didnt need to render the sequence and i could edit clips with most any codec/compression settings etc.
Anyway now FCP doesnt do it anymore! I send the clip down and it just puts it in the sequence and gives me the big RED BAR on top and I have to render.
I have repaired permissions. I have trashed FCP prefs..etc
I'm using FCP 6.0.4 on Tiger. Any ideas would be super appreciated!

Hey guys,
I found the same problem occurred with my own "weird codec". I'm on FCP 6.0.6 and I was doing some simple testing work with Photobooth's video feature, which records in MPEG-4 640x480 .mov. I tried getting my sequence to auto-conform with both 'ASK' and 'Always' settings, but no dice.
I didn't find a solution, mostly because it was easier to simply batch export them all as DV Pal clips, but I thought you might be interested. I posit the auto conform only works with more conventional video codecs like those listed in the Easy Setup options - of which, MPEG-4 is not.

FCP 7 crashes when choosing "yes" to changing of sequence settings for Flip

I've been doing quite a bit of work with the Flip HD video camera recently. I grew tired of rendering everything, so decided it was time to finally upgrade from FCP 5 to FCP 7.
However, FCP 7 crashes every time I try to lay down video files from the Flip camera onto a timeline.
Upon laying the files down onto the timeline, I am prompted with the message asking if I want to change the sequence settings to match the video. I click yes and immediately get "General Error" and FCP crashes.
I tried trashing the preferences. same result.
I tried updating FCP 7 to FCP 7.0.1. same result.
I even tried updating fixes for iMovie as if that would have anything to do with it. same result.
I'm currently rendering it out the same way I had been in FCP 5.
Any advice or ideas?

AVC is h.264, which is not a work-able editing format, it's a delivery format (and a consumer video camera acquisition format suitable for holiday videos going straight to YouTube), that's why you've been having to render all the time in FCP 5.
Now you're in FCP 7 and it's asking if you want to change the sequence settings to match the video, but there is no sequence setting to match AVC/h.264 so it's freaking your computer out. Still, it shouldn't crash, but that's the problem i believe.
You need to correct your work-flow by transcoding your media into something usable like ProRes, or you can choose not to change your sequence settings, and render the timeline as you have been doing in the past.

Help- Importing DV movie file into FCP how do I change my FCP settings

I am importing 5 different dv movie files that are approx 114.1mb each into Final Cut Pro. I opened a new project.. imported the files. Now I want to start putting together my sequence, but I need to change some settings, and I don't know where to start.
When I go to insert the portion of one of the files into the sequence I get a popup saying
"Attention- This clip does not match the sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets.
For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
Change sequence settings to match the clip settings?"
(No) (Yes)
I obviously need to select yes.. but then i'm not sure what to choose after that.
Could someone guide me please?
Thank you

They are .dv (person who sent them to me used imovie to upload their video they shot)
So I need to open them in compressor and find the preset to convert them to dv quicktimes.
Once they are dv quicktimes and I import them into my new project. Should I be good to go?
Sorry for the novice questions... I do appreciate your help.

Changing sequence settings to match clip settings-which settings are right?

I'm using a Canon HF10 camcorder and FCS 2 with a 24" iMac Intel Duo core.
When I bring in a video clip shot on my Canon HF10 (I shoot in its highest-quality mode: FXP and I do not use the 24 fps setting), I take FCP 6's recommendation to set the Sequence Settings to match the clip settings. If I then go to Sequence> Settings, I see that my Sequence Settings are 1920 x 1080 HDTV 1080i (16:9).
If you look at the Canon web page for my camera: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=269&mo delid=16186 , it shows that the camera is "Full HD" and "30p Progressive." So, why is FCP defaulting the Sequence Settings to 1080i? Is this default setting what I should be using?
Also, and perhaps more importantly, if I go into Motion 3 to create things to add to FCP projects that use the footage from my HF10, what settings should I choose in Motion 3's Select Project Preset window?
Thanks!

Changed sequence settings to match source footage but only half footage now matches even though they're from the same camera and same aspect ratio

My source footage is 1920 X 1080 from a canon 60D. I changed my sequence settings to Digital SLR 1920 X 1080 to match. On the program window I have it set at "Fit". Only about a quarter of my footage now fits the program screen and looks to be the matching aspect ratio. The rest of the footage when on "fit" fills a tiny portion of the viewing window so it appears they don't match the sequence settings. I don't understand why this is happening because this footage is from the same camera, shot the same day, and have the same aspect ratios.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it??

First of all, the setting that you mention is on Fit is the Zoom Level of the Program Monitor. It controls only how the sequence is shown in that monitor; it has nothing to do with how any sources are handled in the sequence.
Please provide the following information:
Exact version of Premiere Pro
Exact version of operating system
Graphics card and driver
Also, please post a screenshot showing the following

the Timeline visible

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind" the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message. I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread". I think that will make each message show individually.

How do I change the DNS settings to BC but keep the MX setting for emails?

How do I change the DNS settings to Business Catalyst but keep the MX settings for emails?
I'm basically created anew site using Muse and want to host it on BC and upgraded to the Web basics + to allow for hosting of downloadable pdf's etc.
There are up to 50+ emails address set up on the current set up and I want to just change the NDS settings for the domain to ponit to the new site/hosting an not have to worry about them chaning all the meail settings etc.
Records do I need to change in BC?
Thanks
Iain

Hi,
You shouldn't need to do anything as long as you do not state hosting email with BC. Just ensure to check you DNS in a lookup tool that it's still referencing your external email service.
Otherwise you can set up external email set-up if the option is present.
