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...
