Quicktime Sizes
Hello,
I have a quicktime here, when I open it it says,
Format: Oefi, 1920×1080 (1888×1062), Millions+
Normal Size: 1888×1062 pixels
Current Size: 1888×1062 pixels (Actual)When I put this quicktime in Final cut, final cut tells me it’s 1920×1080.
Could someone please tell me what the actual size of this quicktime is and why it would be 1888×1062 and not 1920×1080 and also why final cut would see it as 1920×1080 if it was actually 1888×1062
Also, I believe the “Oefi” where the name of the codec is supposed to be is because it is uncompressed and has come from windows. I could be wrong but that seems to be what I have seen everytime I get an uncompressed quicktime from a PC.
Thanks

1920×1080 is its correct size. The other dimension is it’s display size in QuickTime. You need to convert this media into a codec supported for production in FCP.
All the best,

I just put it in final cut for test purposes to see what size final cut would say it was.
Why is there a different Display size? Surely if it’s real size is 1920×1080 it will just display it at 1920×1080?

You might think that, but there are a lot of reasons QuickTime displays the way it does, including the version number, the OS version, the computer, available RAM, monitor size, screen resolution, blah blah blah.
All the best,
