720×480 vs 640×480
hello all – hoping for some help (or maybe just clarity) –
the basics:
FCP 5.0.4
Mac OS 10.4.10
QT 7.2.0
camera – Sony PD100A
shot normal (not anamorphic) – 720×480when I look at item properties in a captured clip, frame size shows as 720×480. Sequence Presets are set to DV NTSC 48kHz 720×480, anamorphic off. Putting the clip onto the timeline, it is not asking for a render.
But in the Viewer and Canvas, it is showing squished (to 4:3). In fact, the Viewer and Canvas seem to be set up at a 4:3 proportion.
Opening the clip directly with QT, the Inspector shows the “Format” as DV, 720×480 (640×480). It shows the “Normal Size” as 640×480.
Looking at the Clip in a OS Finder window shows the Dimensions as 720×480.
so what is going on here? and how do I get this right?
please help – Jonathan
{ I seem to remember in FCP 3 having to open a clip an select (or unselect) square pixels …. }

Click on the clip in the Browser.
Hit Command – 9.
Place a check mark next to the box that says Anamorphic.
Close the window.
Double click the clip to load it into the viewer.
Better?
Best,
Tom
