Good evening everyone,
I am working on a movie in Final Cut Pro, and have come across an annoying little quirk. While most of my clips are fine, a couple of them are showing up as 4:3, even though they were shot in 16:9. So they look all squished in the window.
FCP seems to have misinterpreted the aspect ratio, or maybe got confused because some of the footage on the same tape was in 4:3 and it didn't detect when the ratio changed (just a theory, not sure if there is 4:3 footage on that tape).
in any event, it's most annoying and I must fix it before continuing. The obvious solution is going into the Motion tab and adjusting it manually, but this has two problems:
I've upgraded only recently to FCP from Premiere (that's right, premiere...stop laughing). so being new to FCP I'm hoping it's a n00b problem and there is a simple checkbox or something staring at me in the face.
Any suggestions welcome!
cheers

- There's no guarentee the ratio will match up exactly with the existing clips that HAVE been detected as 16:9
- It adds extra processing power/rendering time for no good reason.
