Export mistery! why an 1920×1080 come up stretched?
Hi there,
I’m having this problem recently which I can’t understand and drive me mad!
The 1920×1080 export from FCP comes up stretch!! as the SD anamorphic/non anamorphic issue but it’s all in HD and it can’t be possible!
If I play the export on VLC it does fix it but preview and quick time play it as an 1920×1080 sequence stretched!!
How is that possible?I do have different raw file (but all HD or HDV)
1920×1080 apple pro ress
1920×1080 XDCAM EX 1080p25
1440×1080 HDV1080i50
few clip on 720×576 dvpalTimeline setting
1440×1080 aspect ratio HD(1440×1080) 16:9
pixel aspect ratio HD (1440×1080)
field dominance None
frame 25
compressor apple pro res 422(HQ)the export comes up in 1920×1080 but stretch.
what I’m doing wrong?!

Looks like you’re exporting out a HDV sequence. HDV has a different PAR (pixel aspect ratio) then 1920×1080 HD and different from 720×576 PAL. That’s probably why your stuff is looking stretched. The PAR is wrong, given that you setup your timeline as a HDV sequence.
I would recommend transcoding your footage to one common format. Either 1080HD or DVPAL depending on your output and needs.
Other options:
— Change your timeline settings to a standard 1920×1080, square pixel aspect. This will require you to readjust the HDV and PAL clips on your timeline (possibly scale them to fit).
— Change your export settings to do the conversion to 1080HDRyan Holmes
