[eternityprod]

do you mean i cannot fix my current video that i uploaded without starting it over completely? is there a way i can fix the source footage and just relink the media on the time line in FCP and then export it and go though the process in your guide?

This depends largely on what type of footage you were using to edit with. I presume as it was 720p that it was probably preprocessed. What you needed to do was take the clips from that original source file and convert them to a high quality or lossless (preferably) format prior to editing. If you think you can manage to do that and be frame accurate, then yes, it is possible to relink the footage. Now if you just tossed in the AVI whole, and proceeded to cut into it, in the timeline, then you're fine. Just convert the whole file to a high quality/lossless format and relink.

As for what you can do after editing... depending on how many effects or transitions you had? Easy to damn near impossible. Without seeing the video, I don't know. It's best to just not put yourself in that situation.

For your future reference, we don(t mind helping, but you should read all stickies/guides prior to posting a question. We get very agitated after putting in a lot of work on them just to see people ignore them.
