TriCaster Studio - Video being squeezed

[Smcvicar]

I used the TriCaster Studio this week for a local TV show. When I reviewed the recorded MPEG file afterward all of the video I inserted into the show...intro, commercials, sponsor spots, etc...was squeezed vertically on both sides. All of the camera footage shot onsite was fine. I pre-edited all of the inserted video beforehand on my VT5 at the normal NTSC DV 720X486 settings in SpeedEdit.

What do I need to change to fix this problem on future shows?

Any help is appreciated.

You've got some sort of mis-match between your content aspect ratio and the aspect ratio your TC is set to. You probably inadvertently rendered your pre-produced stuff in 16:9 mode in SpeedEdit. Just guessing.
