  • Wrong Aspect Ratio on Export

    Posted by Collin Alexander on November 27, 2008 at 5:35 am

    I’m working in DV 720 x 480. Everything looks fine in the viewers, but when I export, the aspect ratio gets messed up – it’s too wide.

    My sequence is NTSC DV 3:2, pixel shape is NTSC CCIR 601 DV (720 x 480),

    When I export, I have the same dimensions, same pixel aspect, but everything is stretched sideways.

    Help!

    Thanks.

    Hi Collin,
    This question have been answered few thousand times in this forum.
    Your movie is OK, is only that QT player display everything by default as square pixels.
    If you reimport it to FC you will see that FC display it properly.
    Cheers,
