Interpreted anamorphic footage getting squeezed in export

Hello,

I'm trying to organize some backplates for a VFX artist on a project, but I'm having trouble with one shot that was filmed on a 2X Kowa anamorphic lens. The sequence is already set to use the Pixel Aspect Ratio from file (2:1) and it looks fine in the timeline, but every time I export a frame or take a screenshot of it - I get the squeezed version instead.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Edit: some details just to be safe.
The footage was filmed on a RED Gemini at 4K resolution, native image size is 3600 x 3000 and native pixel aspect ratio is 2:1.

    Left tab is set to output but cannot see if image is normal or distorted.


    The image is distorted as stills portray as 1:0.

    Try 3600x1500 with PAR 1.0

    Please post screenshot export settings. With left tab to output and visible image.

    Here are the export settings. I'm a little confused by what you mean with "With left tab to output", so I apologize if I'm missing a bit of data you may have wanted.

    Additionally, I have tried taking the frame into Photoshop and de-squeezing it there, but I get the same result once I open the saved/exported file.
