FCP not flagging 16:9 capture as anamorphic (automatic 4:3 distort)

Not unless it was shot letterboxed. Some DV cameras did that, and that SEVERELY reduced the quality of the image. Anamorphic is better quality. FCP will unsqueeze it, if you tag the footage as anamorphic. And you can export it letterboxed, if you wish. But 16:9 is more of a norm lately.

I was hoping here was a way for fcp to automatically unsqueeze it while capturing. Is processing required? (Render and Export from a sequence?). Adventures with old equipment!

FCP does unsqueeze it, in a way. Simply flag the footage ANAMORPHIC and FCP will play it back unsqueezed. Sorry, there is no 16:9 SD format in NTSC that is not squeezed. FCP works in standard formats only. To you can capture and edit it unsqueezed, it’ll look fine. Then the final export you’ll have to fiddle with things…depending on your delivery specs.
