  Export to 720×576 but retain correct image size

  Posted by Kevin Brower on January 6, 2013 at 10:06 pm

  I need to export footage to 720×576 to play video on a digital picture frame. When I convert my original 1080 footage to 720×576 it gets squashed, and everything looks tall and skinny. I use fcpx and mpeg steam clip. Any help on adding the black bars or ideas on how to retain the correct looking aspect while still having a final product at 720×576 so it will play on the picture frame.

  1080 HD video has an aspect ratio of 1.78 ( width = 1.78 times the height ), so unless you crop into your image, the correct display size that maintains the 1.78 aspect ratio would be 720×405 pixels.

  So you will have to frame your image with black-bars or crop into it.
