    I rendered a quicktime clip from After Effects with the following configurations:

    NTSC DV (720×480)
    D1/DV NTSC (0,9)
    29,97

    I imported the clip into a final cut projet and I placed it into a compatible sequence (the settings done auitomatically):
    NTSC DV (3:2)
    CCIR 601/ DV (720X480)

    The image I see in the Final Cut viewer and canvas is squashed (things look thinner). The clip exported from this sequence looks fine, I was wondering if i´m doing something wrong.

    Use the AE preset for NTSC DV and you’ll be fine in FCP

    I am using the NTSC DV preset on AE and I see the image in the final cut visializer and canvas squashed. Is this supposed to happen? Because [even though the render out of FC looks ok]it is a bit distracting to edit and visualize the work when it is squashed (I´m working with graphic animation).
