Editing Timebases

Hi everyone!

I am piecing together my project. I worked each of the scenes seperately in different sequences, and am now trying to put them all in one sequence so I can get a rough cut of the project. However, when I dropped one of my sequences in, this warning came up:

It did this for several of my sequences.

I did some looking around and ended up creating a new sequence for the scene, then using the original settings from the other sequences, then copying in my edits...which then made the video look squished. Soooooo....how do I fix this? All the scenes were filmed on the same camera, and converted using Compressor into ProRes422, so I don't know how they ended up with different timecodes.

Thank you in advance for your help!

OK, figured it out. I'll post how I did it in case anyone else runs into this.

Make a new sequence

Go into your old sequence

Select a clip

Go up to View - Master Clip

Drag the master clip into your timeline

When it asks you whether to conform to clip settings, say yes

If this window does not pop up:

Go up to Final Cut Pro - User Preferences - Editing

In the bottom right corner, select "ask" out of the drop-down menu titled "auto render"

Delete the new sequence

Repeat above steps

Delete the master clip from your sequence

Go into your old sequence, and copy over the audio/video into your new sequence

Highlight all of the audio/video in your new sequence

Control-click the highlighted clips

Select "Remove Attributes" from the drop-down menu

Check the "distort" box in the pop-up and deselect any other attributes

Click "OK"

Good luck! 😁
