I just use FCP (latest version) to creat a pal (resolution=720x576) project, and import a mpeg2 encoded m2v file with resolution of 720x576, the PAR is 1.067. to my surprise, the imported file does not occucpy the whole monitor windows of FCP, it's a little smaller.
I then check the imported files' property in FCP, it's 720x540 in square pixels! since pal frame in square pixels is 768x576, then that's the reason--- FCP scales the imported file to 720x540 instead of 768x576.
I think that is a FCP's fault. as we know, hunman eyes are more sensetive to the vertical resolution than to the horizontal resolution. FCP should keep the vertical resolution of 576 lines, and scale the horizontal resolution to 768. but FCP does the job in the opposite way.
BTW, I'm new to FCP. anyone know how to let FCP scales imported video/graphic to full frame automatically? thanks.
