Why does EDIUS assume the aspect of still images?

[STORMDAVE]

I've been importing over 100 tiff images at the size of 960x720...Edius automatically assumes that they are 16:9 instead of 4:3 Square pixels.

I have to go through over 100 still images now to change them to 4:3!!!!

Update, I went ahead and resized all images to 640x480 through Photoshop's batch action that I created...Edius sees these files fine now. I usually don't do any photo manipulations in Edius, and if I do the files are 720x480, so if anyone comes across this, this thread might help..

Is this a bug??

Why does Edius assume 16:9 DV projects should always capture footage at 4:3? Yes 16:9 DV fotage is stretched 4:3, but why? Just to annoy, or is it me?

Are you talking about files captured to the Canopus DV codec? I believe that Windows does not properly show widescreen footage if you capture to Canopus DV. Capture to MSDV with another application and you'll see that it's correctly displayed.

Yep.

Capture w/Edius and all clips come out 4:3. Each clip requires a setting change. A hunderd clips seems to take forever! No magic wand to wave and have 16:9 in all bin clips, yet...

I smell a feature request.

If it's any consolation, Mac .mov files appear 4:3 unless you send them through Anamorphicizer.app!

this is not the case here, is your project set to 16:9 DV? maybe your camera did not set a flag?

I always capture 16:9 within Edius and all clips are automatically set to 16:9 within Edius, there is no need to change the flag

however, if playing such a clip in windows media player, it will display as 4:3, apparently this is normal
