QuickTime Export gives incorrect frame size
Hi.
A client gave me an HD (1080p) project which needed subtitles rendered to an SD sequence for dumping to tape. So I set the timeline – setting to (PAL 16×9 Anamorphic) and instead of getting a 720×576 frame on output from QuickTime export, I get a frame that’s something like 1055 x 576 rather than 1024×576.
If I force FCP to output it as 720×576 PAL 16×9 via QuickTime conversion, no problem, except I have a much larger render time. Plus, I shouldn’t need to. Plus who knows what scaling issues might be occuring from extra interpolation…
Is this a new exciting bug with FCP 7 or the latest QuickTime or Snow Leopard? Has anyone else seen this?
For comparison, I output the project via XML and put into FCP 6.04 – and it worked exactly as I expected it to.
Problem Setup:
ProRes 422(HQ) Media
FCP 7.01
Quicktime 7.6.4
Mac Pro 8 Core 2.26Ghz 12Gb RAM
Snow Leopard 10.6.2Fine Set Up
ProRes 422 (HQ) Media
FCP 6.04
QuickTime 7.6 (473)
Mac Pro 8 Core 2.26Ghz 12Gb RAM
Leopard 10.5.6Anyone seen anything similar? Maybe this has been well documented and I just can’t find it on the forums. Apologies if I’m slow to the conversation.
Thanks for any pointers.

This is just something related with the way QT display your movie in the computer (aperture).
If you import the clip to FC and shows 720×576, everything is OK.
FC is a professional video editing tool. QT is just a player.
