4:3 and 16:9 issues
Oh, where to begin.
Shot 15 hours at 4:3, edited the first 12 and then the troubles began. When capturing tape 13 (ironic isn't it) It was 4:3 on my NTSC monitor, but when fully captured it is letterboxed in FCP. I've looked into the system settings, I've looked into the sequence settings, I've tried different tapes, I've tried different cameras. I even trashed the preferences files. All to no avail. If I capture into iMovie it's 4:3, if I move the files from iMovie into FCP they are still 4:3, but if I capture directly into FCP it's letterboxed again. If i right click on the clip and look at format the anamorphic check is always there - I uncheck it and render but nothing changes. I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions?
