Ok so i looked at the settings for both original movie and new copy and pasted one. I am not sure what to look at, but here are all of the settings.
original New
Tracks- 4V 11A 3V 8A
Audio- 2 Outputs 2 outputs
Frame Size- 720 x 480 720 x 480
Vid Rate- 29.97 FPS 29.97 FPS
Compressor-DV/dvcpro-ntsc DV/dvcpro-ntsc
Aud rate – 48.0 khz 48.0khz
Aud Format- 32-bit floating point 32bit floating point
Pixel Aspect-Ntsc-ccir 601 Ntsc-ccir 601
Anamorphic-yes no
Field dominance- lower even lower even
The only difference i see here is the anamorphic setting. When i click it “on” in the new video it just stretches the picture. It does not get rid of the black wide screen lines.
I have been editing on this new timeline for some time now. Is there anyway i can salgave this project and not have to start from the begining again with a duplicate? I have been looking like a mad man to find where the setting are different.
I was able to recreate this problem at the apple store in front of the rep by doing the steps i originally posted. The apple rep didnt seem to understand why that happened.
