I am making a presentation in FCP 4.0 using video/audio and stills.

I batched images in the resolutions:
720x576 (PAL) for the background
500x400 and 220x176

Now the problem is, if I put the 500x400 and a 220x176 pixels images next to eachother in my composition they are SMALLER together then my bg. I miss like 40 pixels for them together.

It's driving me INSANE. I have no idea what this can be.
If I do apple-9 for info, is says 720x576 for the bg, and 500x400 and 220x176 for the seperate images. So that's not it.

500+220 should be 720. But when I put them next to eachother, a 500 wide and 220 wide image they appear SMALLER then 720 on my screen.

Anyone have any idea ?

It also doesn't matter which videochannel I put them in. I also checked the dpi's and stuff, it's all correct.

I now tried it with the same jpg:

a black square, 720x576, saved as pict1.jpg
then scaled it to 500x400 in PS, made it grey, pict2.jpg
and scaled 220x176, pict3.jpg

Import in FCP, put them together, the 720x576 is wider then the other 2 next to eachother, height is alright. So it cannot be something with the images itself, like they differ or something.

Does anyone know what I do wrong ? Is anything 720 wide stretched maybe automatically ?

If you are using anything but the newest Photoshop you will get problems like this. This is becasue Photoshop does not have built-in support for "non-square" pixels (which is the type that DV uses) - as far as I know the only way to fix this problem is to upgrade to the new Photoshop
