Exporting 16:9 still image
Hey gang. I’m trying to export stills from my FCP show. We are working in 720p 24 (16:9). When I export a still it comes out 4:3 – the aspect ratio is always squished. Is there any remedy to this? Also, I don’t have Photoshop on this rig.

An anamorphic format will yeild anamorphic stills upon export. Export a small chunck of your video containing the still frame to an 8-bit uncompressed QT at the non-anamorphic full frame size of your video and then export a still from that using QT conversion.

Open your still in Photoshop and go to the IMAGE MENU> Pixels Aspect ratio and choose the one of your original footage. Then Photoshop will display the image properly and not like square pixels.
Cheers,

sorry, but as far as I now the pixel aspect in photoshop is for preview only.
So if this is write the only thing would be do what David said. I confess I didn’t understand but all try that.
Thanks David.

Dear Julia:
Photoshop only works with SQUARE pixels. But allows you to display those pixels in other fashions.
If you open a PS document with 720×576 you will see an almost square image. But if you display the same doc as Annamorfic, your image will be displayed as 16×9.
Same document, same picture, same pixels, but just displayed in two differnt ways.
