Anamorphic distortion in FCP
Hi there,
I’ve got an anamorphic quicktime file that I’d like to generate a 4×3 letter-boxed quicktime file from for web usage. Normally I’d just drag this file to a 4×3 timeline in final cut pro and it would resize perfectly, however I’ve done this and although the file is letter-boxed there is some slight vertical stretching going on i.e. long faces.
The distortion box is set to -33.3% at the moment – I was just wondering if there was another field value that would correct this… At the moment I’m trying it by eye and I’ve settled on -42%, but obviously I want to make sure it’s right for the client (and not just say I did it by eye if they ask!!!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
James -

Hi James,
Don’t touch the distorsion.
Have a look in the Browser window> Pixels Aspect.

Hi Rafael,
thanks for your response, I’ve had a quick look at the pixel ratio and bout sources are set to PAL – CCIR 601 which I believe is correct?

Hi James,
Sorry I’ve read too fast.
Check Anamorphic in the Browser “Anamorphic” column.
