    if you are still trying to remove the audio from the clip for whatever reason, just make the clip offline fist, then choose modify – clip settings and click off the audio. reconnect and you’re good.

    h264 which is what those cams record in is a lossy codec and fcp doesn’t always play well with h264 sequences. try to convert footage to pro res first, put into a timeline that matches the converted file exactly and see what you get. if its still buzzy the pixel information probably just isn’t there. for $150 you can’t expect much…

  • hmmm yes that would be my guess…

  • Oh and don’t select anytrhing for preserving aspect. Just do the size and don’t check that box…your letterbox will disappear!

  • Good! Going forward you can check the anamorpholic box under sequence settings and also enable the anamorphic column in viewer and tick on anamorphic check mark. One other thing to remember is that displaying anamirphic is usually incumbent on the display. I just delivered a 16:9 file at 720×480 23.98 with no distort. The export looked 4:3 squished but the blue ray authoring house popped it out to 16:9. If you author a 16:9 DVD but play it on a 4:3 screen it will letterboxed. Also like when you layoff an anamorphic sequence to digibeta. Unless you set your display to 16:9 it will look squished…

    How was the footage shot? Tape or file? Tech info like native codec, sequence settings are needed to even begin to help you bro…

    ok start by making a new sequence, setting are irrelevant. drop your footage into the sequence and say YES when it asks to change the sequence to match your footage. Set your viewing scale to Fit to Window on the canvas and tick the correct for aspect ratio box. how does it look now?

  • so in FCP select your sequence, export quicktime conversion. then format options, size, custom, make it 720×405. that will display widescreen.
