16:9 sequence coming out as 4:3!?

Hi all - The clip/s i'm exporting are coming out 4:3 instead of 16:9.

Initially the video was cut and exported on fcp5 on my tower, stored for a while and now in the finder-viewer as well as quick time player my 16: files are popping up as 4:3.

So i imported it into my laptop, fcp6 and re-exported (it looked normal, 16:9 in the timeline here) but upon looking at the QT it is stil coming out as 4:3 in finder and quicktime player.

whats up with that? **** when i did drag it to the timeline it asked me if i wanted to change the sequence settings to that of the clip settings, i said yes ****

The clip is for my vimeo channel and youtube.

Many thanks for any resolve tips and ideas, WM

What format are you working with?

Cheers Strypes! As it happened i just didn't tick the export box 'constrain/maintain proportions' and it was fine, although it may have had something to do with square pixels vs others, also the pixel ratio to which it was shot not matching the sequence settings which were used with footage shot on another camera.
