please help with export

I was hoping someone could help with my export. I am exporting quicktime conversion and the below is happening periodically and I can't figure out why. the image is stretched vertically. It only started to happen recently. When I import part of the timeline in a new sequence, everything is fine, whether it is the last scene or first. I originally thought it was caused by the credits because it started happening when I finished them, but I exported the last scene with the credits and it was fine.

check to see if something is making the export play in 4:3 instead of 16:9. 4:3 is standard TV while 16:9 is widescreen. See if the exporter has an option for that.
 
What is the file type? Anamorphic?

The first pic looks like it was exported from a 4:3 and the second from an anamorphic sequence.

Odd - you 'size' seems to be ok.

Try this:

It was shot natively 16:9 on a hvx, I put the widescreen matte on to make it 2.35 : 1.

I am wondering if the credits did it. I basically just put three text clips at the end with the credits on it. could those be read 4:3 and change the compression?
 
Argh!

Ok... now that I look again, yes... you have two 16:9 QT files there. One is masked and the other -- well...

The credits should have NOTHING to do with it. The mask was applied to the entire sequence, yes? How would that be different?

Can I see a screenshot of your FCP window? That's what you are exporting from right?

I don't see the matte anywhere...

I suggest you create a new sequence with the SAME settings as the first. Then drag the FIRST sequence INTO that new one.

Then, lay down the widescreen matte and render all - including a mixdown of the audio.

Export THAT one.

the widescreen matte is on each individual clip. It plays fine in the sequence. the above doesn't show the matte because it is the in and out points which are black.
 
Yeah... thing about adding matte to each individual clip rather than to the nest at the end is that things can get very goofy. Especially with added elements.

Um...

Not sure what your best course of action might be... FIRST though, I'd duplicate the sequence so you can indeed go back if needed.
