So…I purchased a new iMac 27” 3.1 Ghz intel Core i5, with 16 GB of RAM and Lion 10.7.3 .
I installed my copy of FCE 4.0 with no problem from the disk , fired it up fine and captured about a 100 GB for a project from my Canon HV20 with the exact same settings I used to use on my older Mac.

Issue: the image on the canvas window is considerably smaller than the viewer and kinda fuzzy. I tried exporting a small section with Quictime movie and I end up with a much smaller video size than normal, again, fuzzy.

if I just drag one of the clips I captured directly from the folder to quick time it plays normal size .

What gives? is this an issue with the quick time codec in FCE not compatible with Lion?

By the way it works fine in iMovie.

am I out of luck and have to buy Final cut X ? oh boy.

If anyone has an idea, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Eric

yes , it was 29.7 Here’s the weird thing. I just created a new project file with the same settings and just imported the native captured files manually and everything was fine. Same files I captured in the project that gave me trouble.
I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I captured the footage on my system disk Since I haven’t bought an external drive for this new machine yet.
Another thing if you don’t mind Josh. Why do I need to render a simple FX like color balance during editing, with 16 GB of ram and and a much faster machine , I thought I could watch these FX in real time in the canvas.
