    I’m going a bit crazy trying to find a solution to my problem!

    I prepare short films for broadcasts in France. I usually get betacams, but sometimes TGA and .mov files which i bother to transform into 720×576 (16:9) Appleprores(HQ) files with the use of quicktime. Normally there is no problem, i can easily import those prores files into Final Cut pro and get them all prepped and ready for broadcast.

    However I’ve been getting 1024×576 files and in the process, the files end up with tiny black sidebars visible on the waveform monitor. I tried many things….and it turned into a real nightmare. The same goes for a few HD files I’ve been getting.

    Anybody has any suggestions as to what would be the quickest way to import those files without having to apply any manual crops and or resizing?

    Nobody gonna watch the film on your waveform monitor, and anyway the sides of the picture are cropped by the TV sets on broadcasting.
    You may try to change the picture “Aperture” (QT Player > Clip Properties > Presentation > Conform Aperture to..
