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?
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.
