  • Can’t export project in 16:9

    Help!
    I’m working on my first HD project in FCP 5.1 after editing in SD for several years. I can’t get the project to export in 16:9 ratio.
    I’m not using any video footage, all files are images, text and some QT animations all of which are in 16:9.
    My FCP sequence settings are:
    Frame Size:” 1280 X 720″ Aspect Ratio: “HDTV 720p (16:9)”
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (960X720)” “Anamorphic 16:9” is unchecked
    QuickTime Video Settings: Compressor: “DVCPRO HD 720p60”.
    Are there any issues with these setting? Are there other settings I need to check?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I go with:

    Frame Size: 960X720
    Pixel Aspect: HD (960X720)(16:9)
    Anamorphic: Unchecked
    Compressor: DVCPro HD 720p60

    I’m viewing the QT movie file, which is 1280 X 720, on my computer monitor which has a resolution setting of 1680 X 1050. I’m playing it with Quick Time 7.6.4

    The completed project will be uploaded for broadcast TV in what ever file type they require.

    It looks like I stumbled upon the problem…
    It seems that in FCP if you change settings they don’t take effect until you create a new project. When I did that everything went to 16:9.
    Thanks for your help.
