Fantastic! Now how do I see this option? The only progressive option is 720p

Ah, sorry.  My mistake.  FCE4 only supports 1080i video.  FCP supports 1080p.  I usually take in 1080i50, export in AIC format, then deinterlace and output using the batch mode of MPEG Streamclip.

<p>I have a sequence in Final Cut Express 4 that has 1080p video in it, but when I export it, it exports as 720p video, because the sequence settings are set to 720p video. How do I change the frame size?</p>
