  Exporting to Full screen while keeping ratio

  Posted by Jerry Fitzgerald on November 17, 2015 at 11:08 am

  Hi guys,
  Quick question regarding a video im currently working on. I shot a video with a Panasonic AVCHD Cam. I shot in 1080p. All looks well with the video but my client is asking me if there is any way I can export the video to full screen while keeping a 16 x 9 ratio. He believes the current export looks a little squished?? Ill post the video link below. Any help you guys can offer is greatly greatly appreciated.

  totally squished!

  have you tagged the clips as “anamorphic”
  you shouldn’t, as they’re not.

  select all the clips in the timeline,
  hit Option Command V, which will open the “remove Attributes” box
  select “Distortion” (Maybe its already selected?)
  hit ok.

  if you have deliberately distorted some of the clips for whatever reason, you will lose that now,
  so you’ll need to revisit those clips.

  Thanks Dave. Im still in learning mode so I really appreciate the feedback. How do I lose the vertical scaling?Is there a way of doing so in fcp?
  Thanks again,
  Jerry

  Let me just add to that. I guess what im asking is can the ratio be changed on my timeline?

  Thanks Nick. I tried the above option but it made no difference to my video. I changed the sequence settings and it has seemed to do the trick!
