So if I understand correctly, DVCPRO-HD is a codec with rectangular pixels, which means 720x960 would be equivalent to 720x1280 square pixels. Now when I export a still frame from FCP, and open it in photoshop, it shows up in square pixels, and looks like a squeezed 4:3 frame. So I change the pixel aspect ratio to DVCPRO-HD, and it looks proportional, but all the sudden it doesn't look very clear. I see "stairs" diagonally along the pixels. I may be wrong, but I thought I had seen people posted still frames from HVX footage, and it looked proportional and clear. What is the best way to do this?
