1920×1080 says 1440×1080?
Could someone explain to me and my partner why my clip properties say that my Canon H1 footage is 1440 x 1080, and when I open in Quicktime player it says 1920 x 1080? I received already captured files that are 16 x 9 HD, 29.97, and the Apple Intermediate codec……
It looks great, and I want to export my 30 sec edits at highest quality, that will eventually compressed for internet at a size 20-40MB’s.
I’m thinking I export a 10 bit, compression- none…..Do I set the frame size to 1920 x1080, or 1440 x 1080? Does that help, or should I stick with the same file settings and codec used on capture?
thanks for helping a new final cut hd 5.04 user…. -

The HDV codec is using the native resolution of the camera which is 1440×1080 with a pixel aspect ratio (PAR) of 1.33:1, then it does a PAR correction when played back so it looks correct (ie. 16×9). If you export to the 10bit codec you will want it to be 1920×1080 with the PAR set to 1:1.

And to add… going out to 1920×1080 is uprezing the image horizontally, so you might consider exporting half HD 960×540, then encoding from there.
