[Donia Mili] “You first suggested: “Just drop your movie on a sequence with the same settings but Anamorphic.”
And Nick Meyer’s suggestion was:
“another approach would be to drop your finished film into a new timeline: same settings for everything but set to anamorphic.
oh, yes, and go into the sequence settings, Video Processing, and turn motion scaling to BESTit wil most likely appear with black bars left & right (Pillar-boxing)
you need to BLOW UP your footage to 133.33%”
You put the 4×3 picture with SIZE AT 100% inside a 16×9 frame
Nothing is blown-up.
There are not Black bars nowhere.
The top and bottom of the picture are cropped.

Hi Donia,
For iTunes they request a high quality master, because the final compression have to be done by one of the companies that Apple has licensed. They want ProresHQ or Uncompressed, and they won’t accept an Mp4 even if is perfectly processed.

Sacha’s suggestion is OK if you have been asked for LETTER BOXED.
If you have been asked for plain 16×9 (Anamorphic), that’s not the way.That’s for broadcasting, but If your movie will be played in computers, you will also need to make it Squared Pixels.
You should ask the proper specs of what they want.

“.dv” (DV Stream) are not QT Movies, they do not have TC and the audio get crunched to 32Mhz.
Many reasons for not using them out of iMovie.

The best of FCPX is that allows to work directly with many formats that in FCP.7 needed transcoding.
The two formats you are dealing with are supported by QT/FC since years.

Since long time RAM allocation is automatic in Mac OS.
Anyway, more RAM would help for RT performance, but not for rendering/transcoding/compressing.
For those taskst you need CPU/GPU.

Open QT Preferences and check “Allow FC Color compatibility”.

Hi Joe,
I do not have 1’C reels to capture, but I want to thank you for your generous offer anyway.
I miss these times when video gear was made to last for ever.

[Donia Mili] ” I would like to know if I can change the 4X3 aspect ratio of my film to 16X9 using FCP 6.0.6? “
No problem. Is just about to cropping the top and the bottom of the picture.You do not give details on your movie, but I understand that is SD 4×3.
Just drop your movie on a sequence with the sam settings but Anamorphic.
