Hi Don,

Thanks for replying – I think the problem might be more serious as it turns out that I accidently shot the footage with the aspect ratio set to “SQU” or squeeze to 16:9. This setting doesn’t make the black bars appear in the viewfinder as the usual indicator of 16:9. I think my external monitor is “unsqueezing” it – therefore it looks fine there. I’ve called the shop that rented me the camera (and preset it to squeeze without telling me.) Any thoughts on how to “unsqueeze” the footage? so I can get it into FCP at 4:3? thanks
