  How to make 16:9

  Posted by Stephanie Dalzell on September 10, 2008 at 8:23 am

  We shot in 16:9, but on FCP the picture is distorted/stretched and isn’t in 16:9. How do we make it 16:9 on FCP??????? HELPPPPP US!

  Set your monitor to 16:9 and make sure clips were logged that way

  Then edit into a 16:9 sequence and if needed remove the distortion from the clips

  I was working with my my second 16:9 DVCAM project and forgot to set the capture setting to DV NTSC Anamorphic. So on playback everything was 4:3 squeeze. I figured out that you can check the anamorphic setting in the bin and it changes the attribute of the clip so that when it plays in the viewer, it is 16:9. I doubt that this sets the anamorphic marker in the original QT clip but it works inside FCP.

  Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
