720p Footage 133%
I’m editing 720p 24pn footage shot with a Panasonic HPX170.
In the Canvas when I look under the Motion tab I’m noticing that all the footage is scaled at 133% rather than 100%. And when I look at the footage in the viewer window it’s scaled at 100%.
Any idea what’s going on here?
My Sequence Preset is DVCPRO HD 720p24. Under the top menu, Sequence>Settings>Frame Size is set at 1280×720 with the Aspect Ratio at HDTV 720p (16:9). Quicktime Video Settings is set to HDV 720p24.
Thanks,
Richard

Sounds to me like the image is scaling rather than anamorphic distorting. What happens when the scaling is reset to 100% and the distort is on 33.3%? Does the picture look correct?
When 720 is put in a 1080 timeline the scaling is 150% so I am guessing it is something to do with anamorphic footage that isn’t flagged so it is scaling up instead of distorting.

You have a mishmash going on in those settings. Which version of FCP are you running? V.6 on up ask to set your sequence correctly when a clip is brought into a non-matching sequence. Otherwise, your video size, pixel aspect, and video compressor are all wrong for 720pN24 from an HVX. Sequence settings should look like this:
Final Cut Pro 6.0.5, Mac OS-X 10.5.6, Quicktime 7.6, Adobe Prod Prem CS4, G5 Quad 2.5, Kona-LHe V6, 8.5GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 7800-GT 256MB, G-RAID 2x1TB FW800, 6TB RAID-5 (Enhance E8-ML, Highpoint 2322), Panasonic HVX-200P P2. Also MBP 17″ Core 2 Duo 2.5, 4GB, GeForce 8600M GT 512MB.
