Check all your clips... I'll bet they were dropped into a timeline that wasn't set correctly...


It'll be the "distort" checkbox. Or highlight all the clips in the timeline, control click, remove attributes, "distort".

It looks like to me that the original sequence was set to ANAMORPHIC. The 4:3 clips displayed properly and then when you exported it to QT the default (correctly) is to set the anamorphic back to 4:3 thus distorting the video and making everyone tall and skinny.

Why you didn't notice this when editing I'm at a loss.

Here's what I'd do now... hoping you didn't do anything yet.

Apple-Zero the sequence in the browser and uncheck the ANAMORPHIC box. THEN... select ALL the clips and right click REMOVE ATTRIBUTES -- check the DISTORT box ONLY.

That should set all the distrortion to 4:3 settings and you can export fine.

Good luck,

Yeah. That's what I ended up doing. I was playing around with it and ended up figuring out what you recommended. Thanks!
