distoring problem exporting to quicktime
Hello All,
I have a project set up to HDV-1080i60. It looks fine on final cut but when I export it to a quicktime movie the picture seems to be compressed-in horizontally. I can’t seem to fix this no matter what I try, and I’ve tried lots of settings. I have it set to 1280×720 when I export. This seems to also happen when I use the compressor.
any ideas would be appreciated.
thank -

I believe this is an Aspect ratio problem. QT has always been a bit behind on all of this. It also depends on your final product as to whether this is an issue.
One thing i have done in the past though is to go into QT, Select “Show movie properties” select the video track and manually change the video to what i want the scale to be. Then save.
Most important to remember is that your video is HDV so it’s not really 1080p. It’s 1440×1080 i think and stretches out to 1920×1080. FCP knows this but QT doesn’t so shows it square pixels. That’s where manually changing the scale comes in.
Consumer codec i’m afraid.

hello!
Yes, I can change it in quicktime. thanks!
One more question – when I export it using the compressor, it compresses it in the weird distorted format.
Ideas on that?
thanks!! -
I think you would just need to adjust the presets accordingly to be the size you want. save as a custom preset i believe otherwise it might revert.
