The Anamorphic column in the Browser also lets you select this option for clips
and sequences.
Rendering Items That Contain Anamorphic Media
There are several things to keep in mind before you render sequences that contain
anamorphic 16:9 media:
 When adding anamorphic 16:9 clips to an anamorphic 16:9 sequence, no rendering
is necessary.
 Any clips with the Anamorphic setting turned on in the Item Properties window will
be appropriately rendered in that format.
 If you’re using a sequence preset that has the Anamorphic option selected, all clips in
the sequence will be rendered in that format.
 If non-16:9 media is added to a 16:9 sequence or vice versa, the new content is
scaled to maintain the proper pixel aspect ratio and may need to be rendered prior
to final output.
A checkmark in this
column denotes
anamorphic media.
