    Your help would be greatly appreciated:

    I have edited a video for a client and it is in NTSC DV anamorphic settings in FCP Studio. They created a lower 3rd in CS2 using the widescreen preset, with the pixel correction on. When they send me the image and import it into FCP it squishes the image. They are really needing this to be the correct aspect as it is their corporate logo. I haven’t had trouble like this in 4:3 so I am wondering if not all widescreen settings are the same. If you can help that would be awesome!

    Jon,

    Graphics for 16×9 that I use are PS files (for the most part) 864×540 square pixels. Always look good.

    Why wouldn’t it be 864×480?

    Because of square pixels.

    Huh… but isn’t dv anamorphic a 16:9 aspect ratio, and 864/480=16/9? (dv pixels are only wider than square pixels, not taller, right?)

    Just curious… If 864×540 is what I’m supposed to be using for motion graphics in a dv anamorphic project, I’ve got a lot of re-working to do!

    Thanks,
    Alexander Gao
