Q: Placing Background move issue - Live type
I'm having trouble with placing a background movie in live type. I encoded a 5 second movie in HDV 1080i60... I've set my project properties to HDV1080i60 and when I place the movie in the background it squeezes it to 4:3. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help!

Your HDV clip is 4x3. its 1440x1080 Final Cut Pro does an anamorphic stretch to make is 16x9. Run your clip through compressor make a prores file (or any video codec you like, such as PhotoJpeg, AIC, whatever) but go to the Geometry room and set your dimensions to 1920x1080 with a 1.0 pixel aspect ration. That should fix your issue. Livetype has all sorts of problems with interpret footage. The application is a legacy app and support is lacks on it.
For compressor setting look at the attached image
