  HD Frame Format – 1280 x 720 or 960 x 720

  Posted by Steve Day on April 5, 2009 at 2:25 pm

  Does anyone know why when I shoot on the Panasonic HPX500 at 720p it shoots a frame with the size of 960 x 720? I was under the impression HD is 1280 x 720…?

  Many thanks for any heads up on this one.

  It is an anamporphic format….90% of HD cameras are. FCP and Avid and Premiere will stretch the signal back out properly.
