Aspect Ratio and the Canvas
Thanks in advance for any solutions to this issue I’m having.
My canvas is currently in a 16:9 aspect ration and I want it in a 4:3. I know I’m missing something obvious, but I can’t figure it out.
So the ultimate question is. How do I change the aspect ratio of the entire project? Some quick notes: I’m not in the middle of the project so there won’t be any conflicts with any previous edits.
Again thank you for your advice.

Before you start go to Final Cut Pro > Easy Set-Up and choose the format you will be working in for the entire project. After that sequences will default to those settings, and the Canvas will follow the sequence settings, including aspect ratio, as long as you:
Look to the top center of the Canvas – the button on the left is called the zoom pop-up menu.
Click it and make sure there is a check mark next to, “Correct for Aspect Ratio.”
The canvas will now follow the shape of the currently active sequence.
If you have a sequence created before you set the easy set up options –
It is actually easier to just delete this sequence and make a new one after you go through easy set-up. But if you must –
Choose the sequences and hit Command – Zero.
Make sure Anamorphic is unchecked. Look over the other settings and change as necessary.
Best,
