DVCPRO HD Squeezed
When I transfer DVCPRO HD footage to an DV/NTSC Anamorphic timeline, then export it out, the footage ends up being squeezed. What am I doing wrong?

Anamorphic is squeezed.

My bad, I don’t mean squeezed, I mean it takes the clip and puts it into the non-anamorphic format, causing the piture to look disproportionate. What is that called? What am I doing wrong?

Letterboxed? Can you post a still? you have thew wrong aspect ratio. Put the clip in your timeline that you want to convert to, double click to load in the viewer, click the motion tab, twirl down the distort tab and change the aspect ratio from -33.33 or 0 or 33.33.

I can’t post a still because I’m exporting other materials — but, it is not letterboxed because there are no black bars — the footage fills the screen, but in a non-anamorphic aspect ratio causing the footage to look squished. Thanks for your help.

What happened when you changed the ascpect ratio in the distort porperty?

It corrected the picture in the timeline, yet still exported it incorrectly. I tried doing the same thing with the 8 bit uncompressed codec and it exported just fine.

I too have this problem. I shot in 720p24 on the HVX, edit on a DVCPROHD 720p60 timeline (Pixel Aspect: HD 960×720). The aspect looks good in the viewer, but when I export in Quicktime or export a single image (PNG or jpg) it gets squished. BTW, this is FCP 5.1.2.
Viewer in FCP:

If you want to export a full size jpeg, change the size from 960×720 to 1280×720 in photoshop, or in your export settings.
