  Distorted images in Final Cut Pro

  Posted by Ollie Jacobsen on October 24, 2012 at 1:27 am

  Ok Im sure its an easy fix… but why do my photoshop images always come into final cut studio distorted by -33?

  I’ve dealt with having to manually un-distort them but this is doing my head in now!

  Any help greatly appreciated.

  PSD layered files – square pixels – same settings as the FCP sequence.

  Thanks for reading!

  Hi Ollie,
  sounds like your File is anamorphic, or at least FCP thinks it is.
  Right-click on the PSD in the bin, then item properties…, then format.
  (Shortcut: Apple + 9)
  Un-check the tick behind “Anamorphic”, and voilla, no longer distorted.

  Hey Jamie,
  Thanks for your help but nope anamorphic isn’t checked. I tried checking it but still is distorted. It only does this to PSD files. JPEGS come in ok.
  Also when I update a PSD file if its not exactly the same size it distorts it again. I’m gathering this version of FCP just isn’t very photoshop friendly?
