Export Picture from FCP not 16x9

Hey guys, I tried looking in this forum but couldn't find my answer.

I have been trying to export a freeze frame from my FCP 5.1 720/24p timeline so I can do some work in Photoshop. I have tried every format in the Quicktime conversion/ still image settings, but still all my pictures are squeezed. I can't find anywhere a setting to tell the program to preserve the 16x9 setting.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks,

Tim
 
Don't worry about it. This is because your video has non-square pixels. Export it as a still, edit in photoshop, then when you import it back to FCP, check it off as anamorphic (if thats what your other footage is) and it should look fine.
