DVCPRO HD export aspect ratio crazyness
-
The PAR changes. When you go from rect to square, you have to account for that shift in the pixel count as well.

Are we talking about the same thing here? I think I might have misled you awhile ago by saying 1280×720, when I should have said 16:9. I’m talking about how the camera shoots it compared to how fcp displays it (4:3 data looks 16:9 in fcp by 1.333 PAR). I think you’re explaining how the export process you suggested changes it (16:9 into 4:3 by letterbox). It’s my bad, I typed the wrong thing earlier. If that’s the case, I’m pretty sure I get the whole enchilada now. Or am I wrong? Either way, thank you so much for the help thus far!
PS: Don’t you think FCP would have made a idiot-proof way to do this by now? It’s kinda confusing and DVCPRO HD is a very common format …
