    am working in a 16 x 9 pal timeline on 4.5. have exported m2vs and the screen asepct ratio is preserved fine so there is nothing incorrect about my timeline or footage.

    i’m after a small qt for a client but when i export using quicktime conversion from fcp/format: quicktime movie/use: broadband medium and select options/settings/compression type dv pal/ aspect 16 x 9 the outcome is a 4 x 3 qt. as a test i changed the aspect ratio setting to 4 x 3 and exported a qt using the same settings and the result was the same, a 4 x 3 quicktime.so no difference between the files despite selecting a different aspect ratio. am happy with everything about the file expect the aspect ratio.

    any ideas how i can output a small qt and preserve the aspect ratio?

    i’ve forced the player to display 16×9 using quicktime pro but be grateful if anyone had any ideas about how to avoid this second step…

    Are you setting the size?
