  • Firewire Output To External Monitor Is Squished?!?

    Posted by Jon Downs on May 2, 2006 at 4:27 pm

    hello. this just happened all of a sudden. i opened a project that i had been working on for months, and when i view the project on my external NTSC monitor, it’s squished down…just little, but it’s annoying (FCP4.5 -> Sony DSR-11 -> NTSC Monitor). everyone looks a little shorter and fatter. it looks fine in the FCP canvas and viewer, and it’s fine when i output to DVD or tape. it just looks skewed when i few it from FCP to my external monitor.

    can anyone help me fix this?

    Did you accidentially turn on the 16:9 button on your monitor?
