Used Sony VX2000 and shot in 16:9 (thought they were just guide bars) – My footage is ‘stretched’…… How do I get it to look likw normal widescreen in FCP?

In the browser scroll to the right until you see the heading ANAMORPHIC and put a check mark in that column for all the clips. They will then resize and look right.

Hi

This is correct, turn the Anamorphic 16:9 flag on in the Browser for all captured clips.

If you have already placed some of the clips in the timeline, you will also need to do the following:

1. Change the settings for the sequence to Anamorphic 16:9 as well:
a. Select the menu item: Sequence > Settings
