Distortion when Using Log and Capture
Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me out with a question that is probably dumb but I can't figure it out.
I received footage shot on a Panasonic AG-AC160 AVCCAM. I used Log and Transfer to bring it into Final Cut 7 from the SD Card and everything seemed to work well except there is a slight distortion on the imported footage. The shot is scaled up ever so slightly, but enough to make my subject look like I am shooting through a fish eye lens and to cut off about 1/3 of her forehead. I have matched up the imported footage to my raw footage and there is a noticeable difference.
The footage was shot 1080/60i. I didn't change any settings on the Log and Transfer screen and have never had this problem before.
My Sequence settings are:
Frame Size = 1920x1080
Aspect Ratio = HDTV 1080i (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = Square
29.97 FPS
Compressor is Apple ProRes422
Those are the settings FCP made when I dropped a clip into the Timeline.
For the record this is only my 3rd time working with HD footage so I'm not that experienced. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
