Tom,

Thanks for your replies and your knowledge!

I’ve exported the anomorphic sequence, and the 16:9 image is squeezed into a 720×480 frame (as you mentioned and as the other user experienced). I then converted that to 853×480 H.264 (using MPEG Streamclip).

The result is the video is stretched up a little bit, and some information is cut off from the top (see the attached image).

Am I doing something wrong?

This seems to work!

BUT… I did a test cut, and QT export, and a compress to 853×480 (using MPEG Streamclip) The result is the video is stretched up a little bit, and some information is cut off from the top (see the attached image).

Any suggestions for proper exporting w/ this format?

Error in my previous post: my ‘raw’ footage is 720×480, not 630×480

Tom,

I’ve followed your instructions, and set up a NTSC DV (3:2) 720×480 Anamorphic sequence for editing 640×480 footage (allowing for black bars on the sides). It seems to have properly set the canvas to fit the footage w/o re-sizing (again, w/ the black bars).

But the problem I’m having is this: it’s constantly making me render ‘raw’ clips (w/ no effects/scaling/stretching), whereas I never had to render these raw clips when the sequence was set (automatically) to the footage’s native resolution (i.e., 4:3 w/ no black spaces on the side).

The footage I’m using has been converted to Apple ProRes422.

The delivered format will be 16:9 H.264 (for the web), w/o the 4:3 footage stretched (keeping the black bars on the sides).

I’ve also tried this sequence setting: ‘Custom’ 853×480
This setting also seemed to be right (black bars, no stretching or scaling), except that I still had to render raw clips.

Any ideas??

Thanks!
