  • Photoshop files losing Aspect Ratio in FCP…PLEASE HELP

    Posted by Simon Malcolm on August 23, 2006 at 3:33 am

    Hi there, I have a large project in which graphics have been prepared in Photoshop. All was looking well until Final Cut began diplaying random files with a squashed aspect ratio. I have tried trashing prefs and also deleting and re-importing the PSD files, but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Simon.

    It’s probably an issue of square pixels versus broadcast pixels. Make sure your graphics match your timeline’s aspect ratio. For NTSC they should be .9 pixel aspect ratio. You can change that in photoshop under image/pixel aspect ratio/D1 NTSC DV (.9). See if that works. Sorry if this response is something you already tried. You should put more info in the post about the settings of your FCP project and the setting of you graphics.
