    My footage that i edited is in widescreen. When I export it quicktime squeshes it and plays it in regular format and the same with after effects.

    So my question is how would i export my 16:9 footage to remain in 16:9.

    Thanks

    A quick way to fix this and not have to re output another movie is to:
    Open the movie in QT
    Show movie Properties (cmd J)
    click Visual Settings button
    uncheck preserve aspect ratio
    set scaled size to 860 x 480
    save your movie

    I think though you selected the wrong codec when you exported or your using an older version of FCP. I used this technique when I was creating “one offs” with IDVD.
