82 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

Â Fit All: This is similar to the Fit to Window command, but this command takes into

account clips whose borders extend beyond the current Viewer boundaries.

Â Show as Sq. Pixels: 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.

Note: When playing back media with the Viewer scaled to 100 percent, both fields of

interlaced video are displayed. If the Viewer is scaled to anything other than 100

percent and you’re displaying a DV clip, only one field is shown during playback or

while scrubbing through the clip. When playing back media captured with a third-party

video interface, some interfaces display both fields regardless of the scale of the Viewer,

which may result in visible artifacts in the picture. These are display artifacts only, and

do not exist in the video signal output to tape.
