  digital cinema desktop preview – cannot adjust aspect ratio

  Posted by Zola on July 6, 2005 at 7:54 pm

  Hi there,
  I want to playback 4:3 aspect material (1024×768) on a second DVI display set to 1024×768 from within FCP using digital cinema desktop preview – this is to drive a projector. I’ve created a sequence at that resolution.
  No matter how I set up the playback, FCP always puts the material on the second display in a vertically squeezed form – i.e. black bars at the top and bottom of the display. This happens while the material is playing. When I stop playback, FCP puts up a still that does fill the 1024×758 frame WITHOUT black bars. Now that’s what I want DURING playback. Have tried all sorts of combinations of Video Setup and Video Playback Modes.
  Anyone had similar problems? Suggestions?
  Thanks,

  olaf.
