Why can’t doesn’t my widescreen video export properly?
I shot a video on my SD DVX100 in widescreen format.
I probably digitized the footage incorrectly, because I didn’t change the FCP settings to anamorphic when I brought the footage into my computer.
I’ve edited the piece, and keep trying different ways to export so that it plays at full screen. Right now there’s always a black box around it, and never fills up the whole screen.
What am I doing wrong? I tried different things like changing FCP Audio/Video sequence settings to “DV NTSC 48khz Anamorphic”.
When I export it as a quicktime I change my settings as well to “DV NTSC 48 khz Anamorphic”.
Similarly when I export to DVD using compressor, I use the settings to “Mpeg2 High quality Encode Widescreen”.
All of these always give me the same outcome: a video that won’t play at full screen. I don’t have to go back and redigitize the footage, do I?
Much appreciation for any help!

What are your sequence settings? Sounds like the pixel aspect ration may be set incorrectly.
