  display anamorphic as 16:9

  Posted by Gerret Warner on March 11, 2011 at 2:27 pm

  I have anamorphic Quicktimes in 4:3 that I want to display as 16:9. I’ve read that opening “Properties” and clicking “Conform aperture” with a setting of “clean” under “Properties” should do the trick. But it doesn’t.

  Look for anamorphic column in browser, check it and it should work fine.

  If buy “display” you mean play in QT Player then you need to go into Movie Properties, select the Video Track then the Visual Settings Tab and change the Scaled Size to 720×854. You’ll need to uncheck Maintain Aspect Ratio.

  I’m operating in the Quicktime Player. I did manage to change the aspect ratio in QT 7 Pro by setting it to 853 X 480, but if I save that file and then open it in Leopard’s Quicktime Player it remains 4:3. Before uploading to Vimeo I’d like to be sure that it will display as 16:9, and Vimeo says aspect ratio should be set before uploading.

  Ah… then you should not rely on an anamorphic file making it to Vimeo correctly. Export a 480×854 square pixel file from QT 7. Never use QT 10 for anything… it’s a toy. I got my 720s and 480s mixed up in my previous message.
