Hello,
I edit my film in two projects. I use 1440-1080, 720p50, and DVCAM clips. After editing, I want to assembly the second project to the first project:
(FCP7, Mac Pro Snow Leopard)


1 / Copy (Command C) all elements of the Browser of the Project 2 then Paste (Command V) on the Browser (Browser) of Project 1.
2 / Copy (Command C) all elements of the Time Line of the Project 2 then Paste (Command V) on the Time Line of Project 1.
Images of Project 2 are : 1440-1080, 720p50, and DVCAM.
Once in the Project 1, all 720p50, and DVCAM clip change their size. No change for 1440-1080.


Example :
On the Browser of the original Project 2, about the Clip AA, I can read :
Size: 960x720
Compressor: DVC PRO HD 720p50
Pixel Aspect: 960x720


After Copying that Clip AA from the Browser of Project 2, I Paste that Clip AA to the Browser of Project 1. I can read about that Clip in the Browser of the Project 1 :
Size: 1440x1080
Compressor: DVC PRO HD 720p50
Pixel Aspect: 960x720


And another Manipulation:
Instead of Copy / Paste Clip AA (720p50) of the Project 2 to the Project 1, I drag the Clip AA from my Hard Drive directly to the Browser of the Project 1, The Clip is NORMAL (Size: 960x720) as the case when it was in the original Project 2 .


My questions are:
- Why, by Copy / Paste the Clip AA of the Project 2 to Project 1, the clip AA changes size?
- How to fix it ?


Thank you for help
Ian
