With 720p footage, it seems 1248 x 702 is the clean aperture while 1280 x 720 is the classic aperture. It's a square pixel thing according to <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1578579" rel="nofollow">Shane Ross</a>. To display the movie in it's proper size of 1280 x 720 try opening it up in Quicktime Player and opening the <em>Show Movie Properties</em> window. Select the <i>Presentation</i> tab and change the <i>Conform aperture to</i> option to <i>Classic</i>. <a href="http://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/detail.asp?techID=189" rel="nofollow">See this Blackmagic Design support page for more info</a>.

I have one question - I did all the above, but when I exported via Quicktime Conversion using the HD 1280 x 720 16:9 setting, the image came out squished vertically. It says the actual aspect ratio is 1248 x 702, and I can't seem to fix this. Any help? Thank you! Bryan Hello,

I'm following every step for the "LightWrap" and I get something totally different. When I add the "primative RT Keying filter" my screen turns almost completely black instead of his hand turning white. Then when I change the color menu to "alpha" it still doesn't work right. Is it my settings or what is going on here. Are you using Motion 2? The LightWrap and a few other tutorials are not in sync with Motion 3.

Final Cut Pro will not put this footage together for you. You’ll have to manually assemble it into a single clip." Actually, if you import the data from both/all cards at the same time, FCP will automatically merge them into a single spanned clip. That's why I like to import all my P2 data from each shooting day in a single batch, not one card at a time. “Sometimes you may receive some footage that was recorded over several P2 cards.
