Resizing Images where Height is More Than Width
Hi-
I’m editing still images in Final Cut. I first resize them in Photoshop to fit my sequence settings then I’m good. But, I’m having trouble with stills that have a greater height than width. Changing the to 720×480 distorts the image and all is lost. Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong? -

Work in square pixels in Photoshop and import the stills at whatever size they are (maximum 4000 px I think). FCP shouldn’t distort them. Work in square pixels in Photoshop.

Hi Bret-
Thanks for the response. I tried your suggestion and am still getting blurred images with the verticals. To give more info: I am editing video and the stills on the same timeline. My video is 720×480 Pro Res Compression (don’t ask why, long story) and the stills, both vertical and horizontal. I have my sequence settings to Pro Res 422 NTSC 48 khz. I do notice when I change setting from NTSC 3:2 to NTSC 4:3 my vertical stills have clarity (no blur), but then I would have to render many hours of Pro Res Video. Any thoughts? -
Solved the problem. Gonna work in an Pro Res HD sequence. More conducive to stills and everything else.
