What's wrong here?

In the first pic, you see some SD footage paused in desktop cinema preview, but the second is it being played (and stretched).

a compression slip there?
What are you running this own? QT? FCP? DVD?

 

[iMacZealot]

Oh, sorry, FCP 6.

It's not just that source, but every clip, every sequence that I convert to SD resolutions that it does this.

What are you converting from? HD? HDV? it looks like an "anamorphic" check box is checked somewhere. Maybe your SD sequence settings? It only does this in Cinema Desktop Preview, or also in the Canvas window?

Only in desktop cinema preview.

By "conversion", I mean converting a new sequence. My default sequence settings are HDV 1080i60, but I'm working with some SD stuff currently, so when I open a new sequence and import an SD clip, the dialog stating that the clip does not fit the sequence settings will appear, and I'll have it convert it to match the clip from there.

My other HDV 1080i60 sequences don't do this.
