hey guys,
I've scoured old threads on this site and creative cow, but couldn't find anything.
Ok so here the scenario. My boss and I have been trying to figure out what is the best way to export a custom-sized video, in FCP using quicktime because the final output will be on the web, with a custom size of 888x350, (although that aspect ratio is still up in the air, since the web designers are still creating the mockups for it and where the video header will be. So the dimensions aren't completely set yet, but let's go with that anyways.)
The footage was shot on an HVX200 in 720p24pn, captured, and then edited on the normal sequence setting using the DVCPROHD 720p60 Quicktime settings, with the frame size of HD(960x720) 16x9, pixel aspect ratio is the same (HD (960x720)
the edits are done, now we are in the testing phase of exports, which we have done, but unsuccessfully. Our shots still look pretty horrendously stretched, or distorted.
This has been our workflow. Take the edits with the default 720p 24p settings, and make a copy and throw it into a new sequence with the appropriate custom dimensions of (888x350), resized the shots so they fill the frame size and get it to where we want it then we exported a number of different ways with different settings and what not, using QT conversion. So basically the issue is the image still comes out looking distorted.
Is there an easier way to solve this with good results? how say you? Thanks guys!
