Viewer/Canvass Aspect Ratio question???
Hi,
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I have a question for those that are you using FCP. Im editing a project and something weird happened and I don't know if I may of caused by pressing a button by accident or my program is having a problem. I am working on a project filmed with a Canon 5D MarkII camera. I compressed the videos to Sony XDcam 1080 30P. The settings for my seq. are set the same way. I brought my footage into the browser and I started working. As I am viewing the footage in the Viewer and/or Canvas it was in 16:9 aspect ratio. Im working and working and focused I went to review some of my edits. As Im looking at my canvass I notice that the footage is being displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio. Same thing in the Viewer. The bars are on the side as opposed to the top. So what I did was set and in and out point on 3 to 4 clips and rendered it as a QKtime movie and it plays as a 16:9. Is there a way I can change the aspect ratio in the Viewer and Canvas? Thanks Tom |

First, try selecting Window > Arrange > Standard and see if that resets your layout/canvas size. If that's not it, then your timeline is matching another format from before.

No problem, Tom. I have no idea where I picked that little trick up. I do that though every time I change my timeline format.
