Exporting to Full screen while keeping ratio

[Nick Meyers]

totally squished!

have you tagged the clips as “anamorphic”
you shouldn’t, as they’re not.

select all the clips in the timeline,
hit Option Command V, which will open the “remove Attributes” box
select “Distortion” (Maybe its already selected?)
hit ok.

if you have deliberately distorted some of the clips for whatever reason, you will lose that now,
so you’ll need to revisit those clips.

Thanks Dave. Im still in learning mode so I really appreciate the feedback. How do I lose the vertical scaling?Is there a way of doing so in fcp?
Thanks again,
Jerry

Let me just add to that. I guess what im asking is can the ratio be changed on my timeline?

i outlined that above.

Thanks Nick. I tried the above option but it made no difference to my video. I changed the sequence settings and it has seemed to do the trick!
