• Correct for Aspect Ratio: Displays non-square pixel images as square pixels so they

look correct on your computer screen. Standard definition (SD) video equipment

displays video using non-square pixels, whereas computer monitors display video

with square pixels. Because of the difference in the shape of the pixels, the same

video image looks different on each kind of monitor. Final Cut Pro can simulate how

your images will look on a video monitor using the computer’s display, so that your

video images look correct as you edit. This does not permanently affect your picture;

it’s only for display purposes. Final Cut Pro always displays video in Production

aperture display mode. For more information about aperture display modes, see

“About QuickTime Aperture Display Modes.”

Note: None of these view options affect either rendered output or material sent to

tape. They only affect display in Final Cut Pro.

• Image, Image+Wireframe, or Wireframe mode: Image is the default, and simply shows

the video of your clip or sequence as it plays back. Image+Wireframe is useful when

you’re using motion effects or compositing. Each video layer in the Viewer has a

bounding box with handles (or a wireframe) that can be used to adjust that clip’s

size, rotation, and position. Wireframe mode shows only the bounding box and

handles of each clip in your sequence, without the corresponding image. For more

information on using motion effects, see “Changing Motion Parameters.” You can

also refer to “Adjusting Parameters for Keyframed Effects.” For information on

compositing, see “Compositing and Layering.”
