Even export with current settings ends up squeezed.

It was a 16×9 sequence originally.
I then copied and pasted it into a new 4×3 sequence – that’s all I did to get
it letterboxed. And it looks OK.

But all exports I tried, including current settings, end up squeezed.
Is it a pixel setting?

Andy,
Reason I tried Gang is I could not figure out how to make multiclip work.
I think what I want is Modify > Make Multiclip Sequence, right? Don’t know what to do to get it un-ghosted so I can click on it.
Thanks much again,
Dave

Andy,
Re: Gang

This lets me see where the second track is each time I stop the action, but this second window does not move in real time – I’m getting a freeze frame.

Walter,
Confused by “two sequences”. I am in one sequence, with
2 synced video tracks.

Tom,
Thanks for sticking with this.

I exported from FCP as Pro Res 422 HQ 1280 x 720, 30p (but I should have tried 60p probably since they want 59.94p).

Imported to Compressor: create web reference movie – Large Web Movie. Set inspector to the TV station specs. Looks OK. Can I do better?

Tom,
It is DV anamorphic media.

To see what you meant, I created a new sequence set to 1280 x 720 with the frame rate they asked for (15.94), then imported the EDL into it. Sure enough, it’s messed up – like you said – with black bars on the left and right.

I’m going to try it in Compressor.

My size is now: 720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
(with anamorphic checked)

If I try to re-size to 1280 x 720 by changing to “custom” or just typing those numbers in, it will not let me.

I was looking for a FCP font name.
