Bob,
It looks like the fields are reversed because they are reversed — the 2-pass VBR setting is to blame — its broken. Go into the preset and change to CBR and you’ll be good, and its not an inferior encode either.
So Bob, in then old days of Edit* I’ll bet you never envisioned getting FCP help from me…

Nice tutorial Captain.

[Matt] “cropping and stretching enlarges the pixels”
Stretching yes, cropping no.

You’ve got exactly three choices. You can either ignore it, scale up the footage on your timeline to compensate, or crop during your MPEG encoding, which essentially does the same thing as scaling on the timeline but without as much conrol.

Ross,
[Ross Marshall] “Surely if I scale my 16:9 footage on a sequence 4:3 this just enlarges the pixels, meaning I will lose resolution?”
Nope!!! Converting 4×3 to 16×9 enlarges the pixels, going in the other direction involves either cropping or panning and scanning a selected portion of the image. Try your dropping your nested into a 4×3 timneline and see what happens.

Hey Bob,
Something is wrong with your settings, cuz that would be grounds for divorce if it were inherant in FCP. What are your render quality settings, and do you have “Full” checked in the render drop down for both selection and sequence?

Is your original 16×9 or 4×3?

I have an Epson R200 that I bought for $59. Its the greatest.

As I said, only you know the secret way of the scan line.

Since both DV and uncompressed SD are lower field dominant, I would hazard a guess that you misunderstood Graeme. But, you never know Grasshopper, Graeme has received “the knowledge,” and only he knows the secret way of the scan line.
