5DMKII with Final Cut Express Need help! THX!

Hi guys I'm having trouble exporting my 1080p videos through Final Cut Express. I've tried every option and the videos come out squished! I'm trying to export in 1080p and 720p and I'm not having luck everything gets squished! Please tell me how you are exporting it to get a proper 1080p video. Thanks!

I haven't used the Final Cut Express, but if the video is coming out "squished" then you may have the pixel aspect ratio off. Try double checking that it is exporting at 1920x1080 with a PAR of 1 (square pixels).

Matt, thanks for the info. But yes when I do export it is in 1920x1080. I'm not sure about the Par of 1, where do I check for that?

Did rendering the Time Line first solve your problem?
