FCP anamorphic problem.

[Sweeney Jet]

Hello.

I imported 1080i60 HDV footage in FCP 7. Used Compressor to pulldown my HV20 footage for 24p frame rate and convert it into a 720x480 for faster editing as my ram sucks. For some reason back in FCP -- it says Aspect Ratio NTSC DV (3:2) in FCP as well as 720x480.

The problem is, I made the clips to my project 16:9 Anamorphic and only one of the clips looks like widescreen while the others look kinda squared, llke a TV aspect ratio in the slug/canvas. I'm just wondering how do I fix this? I want all of my footage to have this anamorphic look to it.

Thanks for your help as always.

Here are the actual footages shown in 50% at the canvas screen after dropping it in the timeline.

The look every other clip has:

Thanks.

Please corroborate, but I'd assume it's selecting the anamorphic flag in the right-click info options in the FCP Browser listing for the clip.
