Copy+paste shot changes aspect ratio???

[dariomik]

Hi all,

My problem is when I copy and paste a shot between sequences, the shot changes aspect from widescreen (1440x1080p HDV, anamorphic) to 4:3, although all the sequence settings are the same.

Is there something I am overlooking or an FCP6 (in FCS2) glitch?

I cannot replicate this.

Are you SURE the settings are the same? Both are anamorphic?

Well, I AM an ass - what I did was, before I copied a shot from a sequence, I went to the SHOT'S "item properties"-> format and made sure "anamorphic" was checked, thinking it was enough. Plus pasting into an anamorphic sequence, I thought that should render the SHOT as anamorphic.

However, as you suggest, I needed to make the whole original SEQUENCE anamorphic before I copied the shot.

I feel ashamed..

Thank you very much CaptainMench
