exporting HD stills

Hey guys. I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer. I have a 960x720 project i'm working on in FCP 5. I want to export some still images from the project and retain its aspect ratio. How do you do this? It keeps saving them as 4:3. thanks in advance.

960x720 is 4:3. 1280x720 is 16:9. YOu will have to adjust the stills in a photo editing app, like Photoshop.

>It keeps saving them as 4:3.

Often discussed here, actually... 4:3 and 16:9 refer to Display Aspect Ratio.

960x720 indicates the total pixel count. That's one of the ways certain video formats save on space and storage. It's actually 4:3, if the pixels are displayed as square pixels. So yes, you need to resize it to 1280x720 (or any other dimensions in this ratio), in a photo editing app like Photoshop, as Shane mentioned.

i open them up in Photoshop and you can go into IMAGE, then PIXEL ASPECT RATIO. choose the correct one and you're all good.

Thanks for all the help! I've got them edited in photoshop and they look great.
